If cell data contains cell delimiters, can the saved file even be
re-imported into excel? i.e. It is corrupted data which is being saved,
AIUI. The few spreadsheets I've encountered (long ago, admittedly) allow
the cell delimiter to be set prior to saving the file. Can excel not do
that? (It's what I've repeatedly done in similar circumstances ... well,
actually asked others to do with their spreadsheets, before mining
the data with text tools. ISTR tab being used instead of comma.)

An aligning plugin was named on this list in the last week or so, ISTR.
It might do the job?

That does seem like the long way there. :-)
