Applying Excel Templates

[gkata]

I have a 'csv' file that contains numbers with preceding zeroes. When I open
the file up, the zeroes are eliminated. I created a simple template that
will format all cells in the worksheet to be 'text'. How do I apply this
template to the 'csv' file? When I have the template open, then import the
'csv' file, the zeroes are still being eliminated. I noticed something about
the data range, but I'm not sure how to set that.

Can you change the *csv extension to .txt and open it?

The Text to Columns Wizard will pop up and you can designate Text as the type of
data.
