>>possible with excel too or any excel-like
 
I can open them with excel as read only.

with excel need to save as *.csv if you only save, the file is unusable by CK
so use it to make a whole file

Notepad won't let me save them as .cvs.

with notepad you can effectively just save not save as for *.csv
so use it to make modfication in a file

You can save a CSV file in Notepad by adding quotes around the filename: "filename.csv".
Or use another text editor like EditPad or Notepad ++ which support multiple formats natively.

Excel or OpenOffice are not recommended as they mangle CSV files, making them unusable for CK.
