Profile photo for Mark Lomas

Excel only adds quotation marks to those cells that contain commas. If you were to remove those quotation marks you wouldn’t be able to distinguish between a comma inside a cell and a comma between two cells.

Instead, it may be more useful to save the file as tab-delimited text. That uses tab characters instead of commas and doesn't need the quotation marks.
