UTF-8 is so necessary for non-latin characters isnt it? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-csv-export-files#post-67084 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:02:52 +0000 David Peralty 67084@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Most likely though, your CSV problem was that it wasn't parsing the data based on commas correctly. This does sometimes happen if you don't set the program to UTF-8 and Comma when importing the exported files. Glad you found a solution that works for you though. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-csv-export-files#post-67081 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:55:17 +0000 petros 67081@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Found a good tool for the csv files, it is CSV Reader 3.2<br /> Problem solved ;) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-csv-export-files#post-66991 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 05:59:54 +0000 petros 66991@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello, I have the same issue but with excel 2007 witch my client uses, in openoffice the .csv file is PERFECT but in excel 2007 and in Libreoffice it is a mess (column data is mixed with field data and is fragmented). Is there any setting that you know of that fixes the excel 2007 issue or should i just press my client to install openoffice?</p> <p>Thank you for your help.<br /> Petros </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-csv-export-files#post-47066 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:31:23 +0000 Chris Hajer 47066@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Maëlle - I emailed you. I was able to open your CSV in OpenOffice without incident and paragraphs were preserved in the Description field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/problem-with-csv-export-files#post-46956 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 06:08:07 +0000 maelle 46956@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I do have problems with accents in French and Italian but my main issue (in all languages) is that fields are mixed up when placed in columns. Text paragraphs for example are split up and some entries are missing. I sent you and email with Wordpress access.</p> <p>Thanks, Maëlle </p>
