Answer 1

I have a solution that works for me with a text file tab delimited.

Open the text file in notepad etc..

Copy the text file with Ctrl-A and Ctrl-C then Ctrl-V into a blank sheet.

Note all the columns that look scientific.

Then Ctrl-Z (undo). You should now have a blank worksheet.

Highlight all columns (Ctrl-Click on each column header) that you noted before.

Change format to Text

Click on first cell and Ctrl-V again.
