	How can I modify Nation's and Province's name? Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

How I can modify Nation and Province's name in EuI? I try to alter text.csv file but then I cannot save the same file ( because the .csv file aren't compatible with my Excel's version? ). I've tried to make a new scenary with EUGenerator but I couldn't modify Province's name ( I only altered Nation's name )...
Help me. Thanks

Use a text-editor instead of Excel.

WordPad should do it. The .csv files are notorious for being missaved in Excel.

The province names cannot be altered. They are "hand drawn" on the map. Remember that this isnt Civ - the map is not made of tiles etc.
A test was done to see if it was feasable to alter the names thro the game program. On a top end machine (The lead programmers) to alter just 1 province name and re render the map took around 12 hours.

As UD mentioned - the names on the map are not editable. You can change the name of the countries (in text.csv) or cities (in the scenario files/savegames). You can also change the province name displayed everywhere else than on the map, but I would find different names a bit confusing

When I alter text.csv and I try to save it... cd don't play ( say that there is an error )! I think that text.csv cannot save with normal excel...
mah!

That is correct. As has been mentioned Excel can damage the file. You should use a text editor like wordpad, TextPad or such.

As Shadowstrike remarked - use Wordpad instead.

But WordPad can tolerate *.csv? ( isn't *.doc? )
How do you save the file before altering ( in *.doc format? ).
Thank.
Excuse me, but I don't understand a lot of computer science ( informatica )...

Here's what you do:

1. Make a copy of the file you are editing.
2. Check so that the file is not read-only (right-click -> properties).
3. Start Wordpad, select File -> Open...
4. Select the file. You can now do the editing
5. Choose File -> Save, or the save icon on the toolbar (the one that looks like a floppy disk)
6. You get a dialog asking if you want to save in Text-Only format. Choose Yes

That should be it
