How do I turn off autoformat for .CSV (comma delimited) files?
 
I have to load, edit then save a lot of .CSV (comma delimited) files, and I
need them saved back as .CSV files (not .XLS). Is there any way I can
permanently turn off the autoFormat function so that lead zeros are not
stripped off of zip codes and so forth?

Thanks!

Hi Mike-

The last step of the Text Import Wizard in Excel 2002 has an option to set
formatting for each column, including Text format.

That did not work?
