Saving excel document as a .csv and not lose formats?
A Comma Separated Value (CSV) file is a text-only file. CSVs are commonly
used to transfer data (not formatting) between disparate applications. Many applications are capable of generating/importing CSV files. Consequently, all formatting is removed from the data upon generation of the CSV file. Apart from trying to get your Excel data into another application, Is there a reason you want to use a CSV file? -- Regards, Ron "karenv" wrote: Please help! I have Excel 2003, using Windows XP.
