Import Text File - missing

J

Janette

I have a telecommunications program that runs and saves a .txt file to my
hard drive. Before I got Vista and Office 07 (the two were installed
together) I could import this file into Excel. Now the file shows up when
viewing the file through Explorer, but does not show up under the import
wizard in Excel - although other past .txt files do. This could be a Vista
thing, but I thought I would check with the number #1 gurus first :)
Thanks for any help.

I have Excel 2007 but not Vista. Fwiw, when I do a File, Open and change the
file type to "Text Files (*.prn; *.txt; *.csv)" files with those extensions
do appear in the dialog.
