Default How can I get rid of these colons

Hi,

Here is one entry row of 7000 I have imported from a text database which
I will want to eventually export as a csv file for another database.

You will see that there is a : after every field entry.

How can I get rid of these please? I have Excel 2002

Rock

I used Find Replace under Edit to remove the :'s from your example.
Replace with 'nothing'.
