Greetings,

I am experimenting with excel. What I would like to do is
import a tab delimited file into excel that maintains
column headings and colors. I accidentally discovered
that XML w/schema will do this. Does anyone know if the
good old tab delimited file can do the same. Thanks for
your time.

Tab delimited, comma delimited, etc are flat text files and carry no tags
for formatting, etc. You are stuck with HTML or XML or code to format it
once in
