Either use Notepad, or grab a simple text editor off the internet - preferably capable of block selection. Since you do not say just how the "first column messes up," it is rather problematic trying suggest a solution the problem. The first line of the table and a couple data lines, the form of command you use to read in the data and the field separator in your table are all useful pieces of information. There are however a great many books about R out there and nearly all of them address at least briefly how to import data. Portland has one of the best bookstores on the planet. As a last resort you might try the command ??read.table from the R prompt.
