The term "CSV" is very common; it means "Comma Separated Values". It is
the
format that originally was (and is) used by the Basic language. When
someone
says "CSV format" or "CSV file" I understand quite well what they mean
or
should mean. It is not a standard format, but it is nearly standard.
I have no idea what a "CSV file that resembles a spreadsheet" is and I
especially have no idea what a "doc with CSV" is. The definition of
those
however are probably not important here, except they are much less
likely to
be understood than the term "CSV format".

Sam,
Thanks for bringing this back up. I know what a CSV file is, but the
original poster asked a fairly ambiguous question, so I was attempting
to get him to clarify what he was looking for.
