About CSV and TXT

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is plain tabular data with no formulas, formatting, or multiple sheets — just rows and columns separated by commas.

TXT (Plain Text) is unformatted text with no styling, fonts, or embedded objects — the most universally compatible format there is.

What to expect: CSV and TXT support similar formatting, so most content and structure should carry over cleanly.
