A few days ago I downloaded a csv file and it opened automatically in OpenOffices’ spreadsheet program, now for some reason its opening in the text Document program. im not sure what i did but can anyone tell me how to change it back?
Right-click on the file, properties, default program change to Microsoft Excel
CSV is not an Excel format; what a .txt is to a .doc (Word document), a .csv is to a .xls (Excel document).
Excel can open CSV documents though. Open Excel, then from within the program open the CSV.
Alternatively, do as Gamanit suggested. If the document was emailed to you, don’t do this from within your email program (Outlook, etc.); do it from the file location.
Once you have it open in Excel, you can always Save As… an Excel document.
This name is already taken,
Assuming you have downloaded the file from the Web and saved it somewhere, perhaps you can open a blank OpenOffice spreadsheet, then choose insert -> sheet from file, then choose your CSV file? You might have to play with the formatting to get it right.
Good luck!
