Ok, Granted this isn't a fault of either JazzMon or either of the mentioned products. But my experience is that
.txt files are opened as "write" documents. However, one can avoid that by creating a work sheet from a file. Create > Sheets... Choose From File in the lower part of the dialog. Both Symphony and Open Office provide this. A bit more work for us, but easier than renaming all those .txt files.... Just a tip. Maybe the JazzMon will provide means of creating the files with .csv which import directly. |

Unforunately Excel only interprets .csv files as comma separated and will misread tab-separated data like what JazzMon produces. It will ask what the separator is when reading in .txt files.
Symphony on the other hand will ask what separator to use when reading .csv files but not .txt files. We'll review how we could improve the situation for Symphony users in the future. |
