This is understood by recent versions of Excel. The "xls" extension is deceptive here! Maura: You originally wrote "Apparently it is in XLS format (this is the extension of the downloaded file). However, I cannot open it with OpenOffife spreadsheet program and Excel itself cannot separate the columns as it does when a true XLS file is loaded." I had no problem myself opening them with oocalc (the OpenOffice spreadsheet program), and I get a table (which looks just like similar tables I was able to view earlier, in a browser, on the mirWalk website). However, this would not allow me to save/export in (say) CSV format. But, by highlighting and them pasting into a text file, I was then able to convert to CSV format. I shall send the results privately to Maura. Ted. On 25-May-10 12:47:45, Peter Ehlers wrote: > Maura, > > These are html files.
