Sorry if I appear a bit dim, but CSV literally stands for Comma 
Separated Values, with a line feed/carriage return symbol at the end of 
each line. Unix and MS-DOS line feeds/newline commands are different, 
e.g. Unix relies on \n to indicate a newline, whereas MS-DOS (and 
Windows) relies on \n\r (or LF/CR). Is this the type of formatting you 
are looking for ?

What exactly are the errors that your wife sees when opening the CSV 
file in Excel ?
