Convert CSV File Into Formatted Excel Document
Hi,
I am wondering how i can convert CSV file into formatted excel document/template. For example, i have a csv file and a formatted excel template (column A is bold, column B is italic and etc.) file, my question is that is there a way to open/load the csv file into the formatted excel file maintaining the excel format? thanks.

If you open the .csv file it will appear in its own window. You could
then open your template. In the .csv file window, highlight all the cells (CTRL-A) and click <copy then click over to your template window, ensure that your cursor is in cell A1 and Edit | Paste Special | Values (check), OK and <Esc - by using paste special, the formats in your template will remain. Don't forget to use File | Save As to save the template with a different name. An alternative is to <copy all the cells in the template, click over to the .csv file window, select A1 then Edit | Paste Special | Formats (check) then OK and <Esc - this approach will paste the formats over the data you have just imported (you could use the format painter, as well). Hope this helps. Pete |
