After weeks of on-again off-again searches I found what appears to be the only solution (solutions depending on the original file format).
1.ETL requires a .csv format
One process that worked for my needs was to change the file extension before opening. For example, if it was a .CSV I changed it to a .TXT. Then opened Excel and used the File Manager to open the TXT document. After the manipulation, I then saved the document as a .CSV and the format was accepted by my ETL
2. ETL requires a .txt format
The other process which worked.... if the file was already a .TXT format, I opened it through Excel. After performing my manipulation, I went into the Tool>Options and in the International tab I un-checked "Use system separators" and put a comma (',') in the "Decimal separator" field.
At this point, it is time to save the document as a .CSV. Once the saving was complete, I renamed the file extension to .TXT and the ELT process was able to load it.
When done, I made sure to set my Internation Settings for "separators" back to default, so opening other documents would function as expected.

I thought when you save a file, there is one option to save as a comma delimited file. I am not sure about semi colon delimited file.
