I have a MSWord .doc file which I want to convert to a .csv file so I can
imprt it into another program. Where do I get the converter?
 
A CSV file is a plain text file in a comma delimited format. Save as plain
text with the name filename.csv. You will have to put quotes around the
filename thus "filename.csv" in the file naming box in the file save dialog.

Thank you Graham, but it still did not work. Let me amplify my request. I have Word 2000 which, when I try to sdave a file, does not have a file type of ".csv." I went to MS and downloaded what was supposed to be converters for .csv, but appearently taht did not work. I created a table with the requisite columns (Name, Email Address and Phone Number) and then clicked on Table, Convert, Convert Table to Text and I made sure while it was still in table form, to put quotes around each entry as well as the column heads. Then when I tried to save the new document with quotes around teh document name, I got a message saying something like: file names may not include certain characters incling quotation marks. What I am trying to do is import my Juno address list which is an .NV file into AIM. Thank you for your help. Maybe this further explanation will help in getting a solution. rbtr8r
 
There is no file type of CSV in the save option. It is save as plain text
*.txt.
It has been a while since I used Word 2000, so if it will not let you save
the file as plain text with the filename *.csv (with or without the quotes)
then save it as *.txt and rename *.csv
The following macro works in Word 2003 - see if it helps in Word 2000 -

Sub SaveAsCSVTextFile()
Dim strDocName As String
Dim intPos As Integer
'Find position of extension in filename
strDocName = ActiveDocument.Name
intPos = InStrRev(strDocName, ".")
If intPos = 0 Then
'If the document has not yet been saved
'Ask the user to provide a filename
strDocName = InputBox("Please enter the name " & _
"of your document in the format filename.txt")
Else
'Strip off extension and add ".csv" extension
strDocName = Left(strDocName, intPos - 1)
strDocName = strDocName & ".csv"
End If
'Save file with new extension
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:=strDocName, _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDOSText
End Sub
