Default Tex-to-column

In Excel 2003...The delimiter is a comma...However, one of the numbers is
above $1,000 and the number includes a comma (1,000 rather that 1000), so
Excel creates another column. Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks for the reply, Homey. However, the number has dittos around it, so
I'm wondering if there is another way?

Thanks for the reply, Homey. However, the number has the quotation marks
around it already...
