Thank you for the swift response and sorry for my slow one.  I see that
there is a fixed file option, but I still have a problem.  OpenOffice
will only open delimited files saved as .csv right?  If  that is true,
how do I get it so that it can open files delimited by fixed width? 
Thank you,

Robert Volke

Yes it works fine. Just use the fixed file option and set your
