If the data has commas between each field and you want each field in a separate
column, you'll have to make sure that your windows list separator is a comma.
(Many places, this list separator is a semicolon.)

windows control panel
Regional and Language Options
Regional options tab
click the Customize button
Numbers Tab
change that list separator character.

Remember that this is a windows setting. It will affect other programs, too.
(You may want to change it back when you're done importing the data.)
