Ok, it's looking a bit better. I was wanting something without all the cells and columns. I exported it into a pdf, which is ok. Seems really clunky though - open csv file using 'opens with', convert to SS, export to pdf


HD, I have an older version of iWork, but no Numbers app.

Once it's in a spreadsheet, you can make it readable by changing the column widths and row heights, and formatting the cells (change the font size, word wrap, etc).

Or copy and paste it out of the spreadsheet into a word processing document, it should become a table at that point and you'll have more flexibility in how you make it look.

But it does *need* to go into the spreadsheet first, because a csv file is nothing but rows and columns of data, and a spreadsheet can make proper sense of it. If you have Bento or Appleworks, you could put it into a database too - in that case each row will become a record in the database.

Thanks everyone <cheers.

It seems weird that my phone company would use csv files for toll call records, rather than PDF (which is what the rest of the bill is in).

Not really many people want (or need in the case of accounting types) to use this data for insertion into financial spreadsheets or for import into financial software like quicken or whatever. Pdf is worse than useless for this wheras .csv and other delimited formats are essential.

I can understand why my bank uses csv. Not sure why someone would want to put their toll account in a SS.
