thanks Limnos, how do I change the save format and what do I change it to? I've looked at the Preferences area of TextEdit but I don't see anything about adding the option to save as a .csv.
I'm not sure about the criteria for separating the columns basically the program has you click on a button that says "Export Data", then prepares and e-mail for you to send to your computer. The text in my e-mail comes out as:
"12/24/08", "Beginning Balance", "+1000.59", "", "Cleared", ""
"12/29/08", "XFER to Savings", "-600.00", "", "Cleared", ""
"12/29/08", "Void", "-0.00", "2223", "Cleared", ""
"12/29/08", "Master Card", "-400.00", "2224", "Outstanding", ""
"12/31/08", "Paycheck", "+671.76", "", "Cleared", "WE 12/27"
Not sure how to get Excel to do this, when I paste this info in a spreadsheet is just sits there in the same form you see above. Eric
