What is CV text?

[Guest]

Can someone tell me what CV text is?

Do you mean CSV, comma separated values?

And if you did mean CSV (comma separated values), then the name is pretty
descriptive.

But if you start a new test workbook and populate a bunch of cells with dummy
data, then save it as a .CSV file.

Then close excel.

And open that .csv file in NotePad to see what it looks like.

There are lots of programs that don't talk to each other. One way to share data
between these programs is to save as a .csv file (a lot of programs will export
data that way and import data that way).

But as you can see, it's plain old text. No formulas, no formatting, no page
setups--just plain old text.
