title: Excel exporting hundreds of empty columns on CSV export
body: <p>Before I begin, I'm using Excel for Mac 2011.  I'm having a problem with a particular Excel spreadsheet.  When I export any of the active worksheets to CSV (windows CSV format), it exports ~200 blank columns along with the 7 or 8 populated columns.  I've had a similar issue in the past, and found a site that said the way to fix it was to find all blank characters, and replace them with a space.  This worked in the past, and any blank columns were not export anymore.  This doesn't seem to be the case with this particular workbook.  </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to resolve this?  Is there a particular macro that I can use to get rid of these blank columns, or perhaps an Apple Script? Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
