If that's not it, send me a copy of the original CSV file (before substitution), and I'll take a look at it.

I've gotten everything done, but haven't been able to get the CR/LF characters inserted. When I do the find and replace in OOWriter, '\n' causes a paragraph break to be inserted, which bumps everything to the next field in Calc. Any thoughts? Great article!
