how to save excel 2003 file is getting save in unicode format? I have a excel file with Unicode content of which some cells are contains text inside double cotes i.e "text". but when i save the excel file in Unicode format the text which contains single double cote is showing up with three double cotes i.e """text""". How can i solve this issue. There are some places where i even have text which contains comma (,) i.e text, which is converted into "text," in the Unicode file i.e it is adding double cote the text which contains special characters i guess. How can i avoid this kind of stuff? Earliest response would be appreciated.
