Default Text file copied

We have copied a text file from our mainframe and it has an ' in front of
each name, I tried going to data - convert text to columns and delimited but
it is still there. Any idea?

Try the Edit Replace feature, replacing the apostrophe with NOTHING, (just
leave that window blank)........

I think I'd do that edit|replace while editing the text file--maybe using
NotePad???
