Hi Linda,
A tab delimited, or a comma separated values, by definition do not have
any formatting by definition.

But you indicate having html source in Excel, and that is not clear to me
what you have or want . What you start with, where it is to be stored.

I need to be able to have html source in a cell in Excel. My html source has
line breaks and blank lines that I'd like to keep in tact. Is there a way to
do this?

Long explanation: I have to create a file with product information and then
save this in a tab delimited file for import into a shopping cart system.
There are quite a few fields and all of them are simple except the
description field. For the descriptions I have written the html in such a
way that you can actually read it ;-), and I'd like to keep it that way (with
the line breaks and blank lines and spaces at beginnings of lines, etc). So
if I can't do this in Excel, is there another product that I could use that
could create a tab delimited file?
