hm..i’m working on a Yearbook, which i want to use Photoshop cs2 for its feature of importing datasets…

are there tips for using tab-delimited files

i’m actually converting some ms word tables to tab-delimited files, and this is done through some Ms Excel features…but i wish to have some tips since there are still limitations in that process, like using quotation marks as a separator wherein the quotation mark itself is a legal and obviously an important symbol used in basic word, so can i have some tips in working on these tab-delimited files…tips like, alternative separators and delimiters aside from tabs or quotation marks to group them, are there escape characters allowed (i tried \" but it failed), etc…

Thank you.

I think the CSV standard is that if a quote mark is to be escaped, you put two quote characters in a row. You might want to try that.
