The pop-up menu has field delimiter options of tab, comma, semicolon, and space, but there's also the "other" option underneath that pop-up menu where you could potentially define almost any single character you wanted (it let me paste in a return / carriage return character, but I haven't tried a file using that as a field delimiter - it would cause problems since you can't define a record delimiter). > are you aware of the LibreOffice import dialog? > > https://ibb.co/xG5ggdc No. I very occasionally use Libre Office to convert old ClarisWorks documents, but that's all.
