I found that if I read it in as a text file, a few menus down in the OPEN file

I'm a bit in the dark. I'll try renaming it as whatever.txt and see what
happens.

That "should" work; especially if there are no extraneous characters in the
file.

Excel has this sometimes annoying habit of trying to be helpful by translating
things that look like numbers (even in scientific notation) into numbers; and
things that look like dates, into dates. The only way I know of to circumvent
that behavior is to convince Excel to treat the data as text.

There are several ways of doing this -- we should be able to find a way that
works for your.
