Presumably you have a filename like filename.txt. Use File | Open in
Excel, select "All files" for Type of File and then browse folders to
select your file. Excel will automatically take you through the Data
Import Wizard - here you specify what row to start with, what the
delimiter is and in the final panel you can specify the data type for
each field. Here you can also specify to "SKIP" that column, thereby
leaving out the data you do not need.
