If it's small changes you need to make, I think you're better off using
Notepad to edit it rather than using Excel. Excel is known to automatically
remove leading zeros, and sometimes merge consecutive empty columns upon
opening.

I am importing the .csv file into another software. Before I make any changed
in the file it is being imported fine (each cell of the file goes to the
right position into the software I am importing to). But after I make any
small shanges in the file (like change one number) and save it (after promt
comes up with the worning that the saved file would not have feature of csv
file) the imported file does not place the data in the right position on the
software.

Hi Shmuel

What do you mean by 'the file is messed up'? Saving it as a CSV will just
take the data in each cell and save it all, separated by commas - with no
formatting. This means you can open the file in just about any program -
including Notepad.
