    A csv file is essentially a text list, where the cells are delimited by commas, rather than put into cells on a spreadsheet. Essentially when you save the file and then open again, the file format has put the data back into a single string per row. Think of it as a spreadsheet with only one column.

    Try saving as Microsoft Excel compatible format, .xls or .xlsx or .sylk- I don't use Open Office, so I don't know what formats it supports but one of these should hopefully work.

    Probably a good idea to do some testing before committing your game data though.
