Default can a .csv file be formatted?

I have had to place all my information from a word document to a csv file.
However, I notice that the formatting is not saved and the content appears in
lines without any line or para breaks. The formatting is very important in
the project. Each time I try to reformat, it goes back to the "non-formatted"
look. Does anyone know how i can save the formatting options in a csv file?

Obviously a csv file is not the solution to your problem.
What are you trying to achieve?

If you use Word or the file is exported out of Excel as a CSV - import
it into WORD and then convert it to a Table and format anyway you want
in Word and then save it as a Word Doc. If you do a lot of them setup a
Word Template.

I would just say format it how you wish, save as .xls file, then reopen
that file and resave as .csv if you HAVE to have it in csv form.
