CSV doesn't work, I have text in the description column that has commas in it.

Frame won't convert to table on import, it crashes.

So I have to import as text. Then after it's imported, select the text and tell it to convert to table, then choose the option to "Treat Each Paragraph As:" choose "Other:" and then the comma. Since there are extra commas, it's not putting the data in the correct columns--the descriptions are being spread across several columns.

I've tried the export Excel as v.5.0 and import it into Frame. This works ok, but crashes if I actually sort Excel before exporting it??!!!??!

I tried the export Excel "normal" (not selecting v5) but Frame wouldn't import it, it gave the error "The filter encountered an error and could not complete the translation."

So Frame will not import a presorted file!!! Frame can't sort and doesn't like sorted files!! What's the deal???
