CSV Import - text and custom fields

Hi all,

Getting on very well with the business edition. Astonishingly good and generally very simple and logical.

There are 2 things I can't get right at the moment on CSV file imports

1. The text in the description loses it's formatting - if I could get it to show paragraphs rather that just one long string of text that would be really helpful. Otherwise I'll have to go in and edit afterwards, but I have thousands of products.......

at the moment I'm importing everying into an excel spreadsheet and saving as a csv file

2. I would like to put in a custom field "Author" as some of the products are books. I can see how to add a custom field the the customer registration, but not the product. I would like the field "author to show on the new product form. I think I'm missing something simple here.....

Thanks for your help,

ian

Hi Nicolas,

thanks for the quick reply again.

1. I've attached a csv file from excel. you will see the description has a number of lines. when imported it all becomes one paragraph - please see the product listing page www.wslr.co.uk/index.php/wslr-shop/products-listing

2. Thank you - i didn't see the drop down list for product
