Calc - opening a .csv file challenge

users
#1

Hi Folks,

I’m running Libre Office 5.1.1 installed on my hard drive running Windows 7
Pro.

A friend emailed me a .csv file created and saved in Excel 10 exported in
the .csv format but no matter how I try opening it – Western Europe
(ASCII/US) or (ISO-8859-1) or (Windows – 1252/Win Latin 1) it just opens to
gibberish.

Any thoughts about what may be going wrong?

Thank you.

Charles.

Hi Charles,

gibberish.

Could you open the file in a texeditor? Don't know the name of editors
in Windows - have only Linux.

Could be the file is using UTF-8.
