[QUOTE="xstep, post: 354207, member: 11647"] I can't say 'for sure', but it sounds like the csv file is not set up correctly. Or you are expecting something from what the creator intended. If you think the csv file is wrong, contact the creator. A simple way to check it is to open up Terminal.app, type the word, cat, at the command line and drag the file to the terminal window, then hit the return key. If you get what you have described, a word per line, then there are inappropriate end of line characters after each field. The only way I can think to fix that is to write a script. Perhaps Excel has a custom import option. Maybe TextWrangler has the ability to create a repetitive macro. If the number of words per row are exactly the same, then a script is easy enough to write. If the number of words vary, then one needs to know the data to have a chance to fix it. [/QUOTE]
