I am downloading survey data from Qualtrics.com in .csv format into Excel
2003. The data appears to arrive perfectly, each item in its own column, but
once I save-and-close, then reopen the file, all the data is scrunched up at
the left-hand side of the page instead of distributed across the columns. I
have tried using the Data menu and specifying "commas" etc., but it doesn't
make any difference at all. Since in a week I will need to be able to keep
the files exactly as they are downloaded in order to perform data analysis on
them, I'm baffled. And I'm not technologically brilliant, just a doctoral
candidate who foolishly thought she could do a quantitative study and had no
idea Excel would act this way. My methodology committee members are fit to be
tied, because they think I'm stupid for sending them "garbage" although when
the file was closed it looked just fine, but opened as useless.

Please help!

Thank you.
