Saving .xls as a .csv file to open later as .dat

[sheiladt]

I was able to do this until I got a new computer running XP. Now I get an error message and a .csv file with no content is created. When I try to open it in WordPerfect or in Word, of course there's nothing to open.

Is there another way to do this so I can get the .dat file for word processing?

No problem, glad I could help. I didn't do too much though.

Never let a systems guy get their hands on your system, they only know ingenious ways to break things.

(all you system guys out there, take a breath and smile, you all do brilliant work and we couldn't run systems without you )
