Pat,

I can't replicate what you are saying by deleting the rows but they do show
in Wordpad if I only hide them. I am using XL97 on Windows XP.

Regards

Sandy

I have come across a strange phenomenon which I cannot explain.

First, I deleted several duplicate rows of data. Then I saved the sheet as
a
CSV file. The duplicate rows previously deleted are not visible (as it
should be the case). But when the CSV file is viewed in WordPad the
deleted
rows appear as though they were never deleted.

This is bazaar. I discovered this when I had difficulty importing the CSV
file into an MSAccess 3rd party program.

Anyone come across this behaviour before?

Pat
