Needless to say once I found that out it was such an easy process, I've got just over 4000 products in my store and it took about 2 hours! Plus importing images was so easy, this was the one thing I was worried about, but it took a few minutes :)
More than welcome. I thought atthe beginning of this thread there was a lot about how OpenOffice should be setup to handle a majority of the process, (though understand thatthere is still an issue possibly with a few of the languages and getting them to work with EP4), but glad you got it to work. Ihesitated from saying that it wasn't a true csv file, because I know some of the spreadsheet applications use other characters to identify a separator.

2 hours? Is that total time from start to finish of "recreating" your store, or was this EP4 processing time? There is areview going on to identify areas of improvement and if the 2 hour time frame had to do with EP4 pprocessing time, then perhaps some additionnal optimization should be sought.
