If I am in an excel spreadsheet and I try to open a .txt file, the test
Import wizard used to open so I could determine columns and data etc. Now,
when I try to open the file, the wizard does not open..excel opens with a new
spreadsheet. How do I get the wizard to open again? My firm re-imaged my
machine and all kinds of things are off.

If you right click on the file that you are opening and select quot;open withquot; it
should give the option of excel, from there it should walk you through the
wizard. It is a matter of needing make the .txt file using the quot;text to
columnsquot; feature? If you open it in excel and it has all the data jumbled
together. You highlight column A and select quot;text to columnquot; from there it
will walk you through the delimited tab wizard.
