Ouchy guess i wasn t hard hitting enough so upping my game lets try it this way guys.
Doc Ohh -
" If a .txt is the basic file for words .csv file is the basic file used by spreedsheets to list data. Yes .txt and .csv are both just that simple."
If csv is soo bloody easy how come it never opens correctly in libre cal and since it doesn t why are you so bloody hung up on it ?
The Ducks- " No wonder you are having problems CVS is the regional Pharmacy Chain "
not funny at all. " don't know how long you have been using computers " you are so clueless i so agree but since you asking been using computers now for 25 yrs; first win 95 then 98 then vista and now win 7 ; keep hearing win 8 is MS at it worse and heard that win 9 comes out later this year; yukk should be bloody awful windows 9 .
Holleydl - why is this junk here ? ? ouchy two times ! !
Dear Peter (& all helpers),
I've been trying to develop an Excel datasheet of my books in a simple list like this for about a year. I've followed all the other members questions, and the answers provided by all of the kind and patient helpers.
Seriously, God bless you for stating this in terms that even I could follow, and make it happen. I now have a simple list of 8,001 books that I can sort by author (first) name or title, that I can open on my computer or Kindle Fire!!! And, by knowing this simple method, I will just delete each list and replace it with each new addition to my library.
You rock friend... Thank you so very much.

@lostcause - the csv file is in fact a text file, so open it in notepad, replace all the commas with four spaces and print it (probably best to use landscape orientation) - it won't be very pretty - but you will have 300 lines at say 30 lines a page so it should be about 10 pages."
Its lostsoul wise guy and guess you haven t went back for enough you just jump in and then fall over cluesless throwing things into the wind aimlessly but the cvs format does not open in libre cal or notepad and printing in txt would be ideal but haven t figured out yet how to get a txt page count so i can compare to other formats .
Peter T-
" E-Book formats such as ePubs or azw3 are simply not designed to print. We keep saying to use CSV as it IS a very easy to manipulate and print format "
The e pub format once i read the great link that Doc Ohh gave me; before that got nooo help at all; has e pub format openning in a snap .
Think i covered it all harder and upped the play - later . .
