Does anyone know how I load an csv file to the ecommerce hosting site if I'm using Open Office? I am using Compgallery.com as my supplier.
Thank You, Gary Nye

if you are using Open Office spreadsheet, save it as a tab delimited instead of CSV. Tab delimited is easier to work with. And copy your spreadsheet as a tab delimited to a Notepad, by highlighting text areas only, and pasting to notepad.

If your item descriptions have any commas, it will throw your CSV off.

Set your notepad format to no-wordwrap. to make sure you have it correct, you can copy and paste from notepad to spreadsheet and it should be in the cells of the spreadsheet.

By using notepad, you don't have programming to contend, only tabs.
