Hi Werner: Thank you for pointing out the error, however, I am using Open Office and from what I can see, there is no way to "save as text". In open office, if I say File->Save As, the options are: Text CSV, with options to change the Character set (Unicode UTF8 is the default), Field Delimiter, options are , ; : tab space, and Text Delimiter, options are:" ' I tried Field delimiters of: tab and space, with text delimiter options of " and ' (all combinations), and none of them worked. I looked at M$ Excel (2007) and it indeed has the save as text file (tab delimited) option (I did not try this approach. (I found this somewhat strange in that using open sources tools to construct the symbols would not have the proper format (e.g. open office spreadsheet) but M$ Excel does. ) I did copy the open office spreadsheet file into gedit, saved it, and it worked. Thank you! John

The cells in the csv-file has a comma s seperator. tragesym expects a tab as seperator. You should use "save as txt" and not "save as csv".
