<DIV><BR></DIV>Why do you keep opening the CSV file in a spreadsheet? Granted
it's easier to read in a spreadsheet, but somewhere along the line it seems your
CSV file got corrupted.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Try opening the CSV file in notepad, it won't add anything to the file that
might cause these problems.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>My suggestion:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>A) Start with a brand-new, fresh CSV file </DIV>
<DIV>B) Open the file in Notepad (you may have to right-click on the file and
use "Open with..." to select Notepad</DIV>
<DIV>C) Edit the file as you like, and save it to the exact same name if you
can, if not, be sure to retain the file suffix (like .CSV)</DIV>
<DIV>D) Try to import the updated file</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You could try importing the CSV file immediately after you export it -
don't touch it at all - to ensure you are starting with a known-good file.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps,<BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I have had trouble working on the CSV file of the
227 memories.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My MS Office Excel seems to mess up the
fields.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>For some reason, my LibreOffice Calc crashes when
I open the CSV in there.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I had a portable version of Libre Office, so I
installed the full version, and that kept crashing too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm using windows 10.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So I ran Dism with the repair switches, and that
didn't find anything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So I ran SFC and that fixed a problem and I
rebooted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I tried Libre Office again, and it keeps
crashing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I fixed up the CSV in Notepad, making sure to not
mess with the commas.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But I need to get the data into Chirp to upload

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I installed Open Office, and opened it up in
there, but the data does not past into Chirp.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I tried to import the CSV file into Chirp, but it
