How to make a CSV file?

I tried cutting and pasting a word doc which is e-mail addresses separated by commas, into Notepad, but notepad only gives the option of tex and not CSV. What should I do? The program I am trying to upload it too gives an error message.

    You don't have to select the file type from the list in Notepad. Just manually enter in the filename, like so:

    test.csv

    This should still make a valid CSV file.

    After you have pasted the email addresses into Notepad:

    Click on File.

    Click on Save As.

    Click on the Arrow next to 'Save As Type'.

    Choose 'All Files (*.*)'.

    In the Filename box, type "Whatever.csv". (Replace 'Whatever' with your file name.)

    Make sure you include the Quotation marks.

    Click on Save.

    A CSV file is just a text file.
