text files open with all data in first column
 
When I open a text file using Excel, I get the wizard and open it with no
problems. But if someone else tries to open it at their workstation, they
can not open it, all the data is in the first column

They can't open the file and yet they get data?

Basically, if a text file has a CSV extension it should open without the
Text Import Wizard and parse automatically by commas or semicolons,
whichever is the list separator character under Window Regional Settings on
the machine.

Otherwise (any other extension) the TIW should open with the text file.
