Re: An easy fix ...
I routinely used it since at least Office 2000, if not earlier. I have also to admit I shamelessly copied it in a CRM application database, to ease importing customer data in csv format. Being there for at least sixteen years, doesn't look too bad to me. I agree with you it was better if it let save settings to be reused when needed - but I never checked if it can be scripted for repetitive tasks.
