When you saved the spreadsheet as a csv file, you probably took the default
delimiter which happens to be a comma.  You should check for a cell with
data that has a comma in it. The embedded comma would be treated as a column
separator which would result in the extra column.

If you have an embedded comma, you have a couple of choices.  You can fix
the data and remove the comma.  Alternatively, you can tell OpenOffice to
use a different delimiter.
