Downloading to spreadsheet

[TonyBridger]

No doubt theres a easy answer to this but I cannot find it.

When I download my listings from eBid in a text file then open it in Excel it always appears downwards instead of across in columns. Picture below to show what I mean. The eBid file is the only one I have this trouble with as when I open other files they automatically open the "text wizard" to help me format them right

So what am I doing wrong

Have you tried different methods of opening it? Double click on file name, import when already in excel, what?

Yes, both plus opening and then trying to "save as" xls

Downloaded latest OpenOffice Calc and tried that in case the fault was that my Excel was too old (Excel 97)

Its not really important, just I hate not being able to do something that I think should be easy.

If the file's not too big, you can email it to me and I'll see if it works okay here.
