OK now I understand, I can only work with CSV within Chirp

So I was able to cut and paste, and I was able to save the CSV with the special channel settings.

But it does not use the special channel name as the Location. such as VFOa-18M getting numbered to location 12 (it numbers all of them). So if I paste it back to the special channel line, it replaces VFOa-18M with the number.

Therefore I cannot up load the results to the radio. Also, the special name cannot be put into the CSV spreadsheet (with excel) and opened by Chirp because location needs to be numeric.

I guess I will have to settle with the single editing characteristics in Chirp for the Special Channels.

Thanks again for your help

Ah ... now I understand!
I don't think copy and past can work with excel!! (consider I'm not at
all a microsoft guru)

But it works (at least is supposed to work) from and to a CSV opened in
Chirp.

Try this:
1 start Chirp
2 menu File - Open
3 in the file type selection box, which is close to Open button, select
CSV Files then go to your existing saved CSV and open it
4 download from radio as usual
5 go to the new tab
6 select some (or all) special channels
7 copy
8 go back to the CSV tab
9 select a line and paste

optionally you can create a blank CSV in Chirp with File - New.

If you plan to use excel to modify CSV remember that the file must have
the correct structure to be managed by Chirp and Excel is known to alter
files, ask to microsoft experts for details.
