{{man note|LibreOffice allows you to turn off auto-formatting when you open the CSV file.|If you don't do this, LibreOffice may interpret the dates incorrectly. Change the type of the column to Text rather than Standard. If your spreadsheet program doesn't allow you to format the fields before you get it into columns you need to change the display format of dates in Gramps before you export. You can do this under {{man menu|Edit -> Preferences -> Display -> Date Format}}}}.
{{man note|Excel allows you to format columns as text when you open the CSV file.|If you don't do this, Excel may interpret the dates incorrectly. Change the type of the column to Text rather than General.
One way to do this is to open the CSV from the file menu (select 'Text files' as the type in the file open dialog box). This brings up the 'Text Import Wizard' which allows you to select 'Delimited' by commas, and to select 'Text' for all the columns (select the first, scroll to last and shift-click to select all).
}}.
{{man note|Excel cannot directly save Unicode CSV files.|To save a CSV in Unicode, save to "Unicode Text (*.txt)", then open the file in Notepad++. Using Notepad++ 'Search' and replace menu, change all the tabs ('/t') to commas (','). Using Notepad++ 'Encoding' menu convert to "UTF-8-BOM" and save the file to CSV ('*.csv').
