Save as CSV file (UTF-8) with double quotes - how?
Hi I often need to save data as a CSV file (UTF-8) where all cells are surrounded by double quotes. I cannot find any way to do that in Excel - can it be true? Any idea how to do that?

The format in the file should end up like this:
"product no","description","quantity"
"1254A","Green bucket","10"

I got round this by replacing the double quotes in Excel with a character that I did not use in the spreadsheet (£ worked for me), exporting as a .csv file, and then, having opened the file in Notepad, replacing the £ with the double quotes.
