exporting spreadsheet from excel

[tonyconstantine]

For whatever reason, when I save in a delimited text
file, the other programs can not open the file. This
problem exists when trying to save from excel to outlook
format. Outlook can't open the file. Is ther a fix or
is the program (excel) faulty?

Try opening the text file in Notepad.

If that works, then maybe it's the other program (Outlook) that's having
trouble.

I don't know enough about Outlook, so when I do this for contacts, I'll go into
Outlook and save my contacts to a .csv file.

Then I open it up and look at it and try to make my output from Excel match
format.

Maybe you can give something like that a shot.
