Your signature says you're using OpenOffice 3.1 on Windows Vista. Do you have OpenOffice installed on Vista? Have you ever used OpenOffice?

No, I don't have Open Office, but I had to put in something in order to join the group. :)

If you really want to create a csv file, download OpenOffice and install it first.

Put commas in a plain text file and save it as text format.

This is a forum dedicated to using OpenOffice, so everyone naturally assumes that you are using OpenOffice. The General Discussion forum would probably be a better place for this topic.

A Google search for "create csv file" will display instructions for creating a simple csv files using a text editor.
