Gabby,

You need to use the Text import wizard. First, you'll need to know about
the file. Is it fixed-fields, or delimited (commas, tabs, etc.)? Open it
in NotePad and have a look. Post some of it if you want help. You can copy
it from NotePad and Paste it into your reply.

I am tring to import a file into excel. It is a txt file that was done with
notepad. It is from a vendor. When I import the file, I am also getting
the
little square boxes that appear with the data in each column. How do I get
rid of the little square boxes? The system that I need to import the file
into, does not like the square boxed and will not proceed?
