Anyway, there's always another way or 2 to skin a cat.... Start Open office, select spreadsheet and when the spreadsheet opens, just click on the first cell (A1) then click on "Insert" and select "Sheet from file". When the window pops up, navigate to your schedule.txt file you made and select it. Now you'll get the import options box.
Thanks again Bigrod. Appreciate your help.

Anyway, it's good to hear that you've been able to finally resolve your difficulty in editing schedules by using Excel & OpenOffice.
Thanks again Monk. I figured out how to avoid the duplicate numbers. Using notepad++ is the easiest b/c I don't have to transfer the files over which I love since it does take awhile for me to change the schedules. I will also use your suggestion of putting a blank line between sections. Aprreciate all of the help!
