Change the file extension to TXT and import as a text file.
That will give you options per field

hi,
i have a csv file with some fields, one of the field which i want it to
be
a character field, but the field contain only numeric, when excel open the
file, it became numeric, this may cause problem, cause the field is a
credit
card number (e.g 1234567812345678 ), the excel will show 1.23457E+15, and
the
actual value became 1234567812345670, that is totally wrong.

how can i do it without open the file, do some changes and save the file
again ?
