    Reading big .csv files

    ... err .... could you elucidate the bit about Excel? I puzzled as to why an Excel limitation might affect Mathcad. I did search (but obviusly not well enough) the Collabatory. Could you point me to the relevant bit?

    How to insert object w/o huge file size increase?

    I generally find that images I insert into Mathcad only need to be small. So I use Photoshop or similar to cut them down to 100 x 100 or 50 x 50 pixels or so. This gives a reasonable size. I think that with a jpeg Mathcad turns it into a bitmap and stores the bitmap.

    Reading big .csv files

    I'm trying (in Mathcad 11) to read a file in .csv format. File consists of 6100 3-character words, separated by commas. There are no carriage returns.
