------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 13 02:44:53 -0700 2006 ------- Trying to save an opened .csv file and saving it as .xls sometimes causes some problems. Follw these steps - Open .csv file (e.g. via File->Open) - Click OK in the Text Import window - Click File->Save As - Go to the directory of the .csv file you just imported. - Click once on the .csv file (this causes the name to appear in the "File name" box) - Click once on the "File name" box. - Press "End" button. (to deselect the filename) - Press backspace 4 times (to delete '.csv') - Important step: Click on a white part 'the file/directory listing area', thereby moving the focus from the "File name" select box. Make sure you don't click on a file because that would cause the content of the "File name" box to change. If, after deleting the 4 chars, you press "Tab", or click on e.g. the popup window border instead, this problem does not arise. - Click on "Save as type" (which now holds "Test CSV (.csv)") - Select "Microsoft Excel 97/2000/XP (.xls) - Press "Save" Button You now have the plain filename without extension in the "File name" field and "Microsoft Excel ..." selected in the "Save as type" field but when you press "Save", OOo asks whether it should overwrite <filename>.csv. This might seem like a little bug or anoyance but it can create some confusion with novice users.
