Hi, I am using the import function to import a text file. But the file is wrapping the text and no matter what I try I can not stop the wrapping. as
I could not see anything specific that was causing the wrapping. I am trying to get the information for each record on one row. Any help would be appreciated.

Sample 1
Line 889: Email - "John.Doe@sample.com" Employee ID - "2793"
No User or Employee record changes.
Sample 2
Line 920: Email - "Jane.Doe@sample.com" Employee ID - "2867"
Warning - The 2nd approver email John.Doe@sample.com does not exist. If the user is successfully created later in this file, it should be assigned.
No User or Employee record changes.

Thank you so much,
Sharon

Hi STIRRELL - Have you tried copy and paste-special - values? It sounds like import is taking the underlying formatting and adding in the unwanted wrapping. Sometimes I have gotten around this by using paste special values which does not include any formatting. Hope this helps get you started.
