Hi Linda, please check my video tutorial so you can see how csv works with OpenOffice Calc. https://www.screenr.com/YgvN In the video I create a csv from scratch, I also open it from Calc, and I create a csv in Calc to save it to disk and then open it. Please try it and let me know. Remember a csv file is a text file, for more information about how to configure csv file I recommend you this link from the OpenOffice manual:
