Fabulous - I somewhat figured that the problem was the space in the file name. I’ll change the extension and see how it goes!
I really appreciate your ultra-prompt replies!

When the filename extension is .txt, AIJ assumes the file is a white space delimited file. The problem in the table you posted is that there is a space in the filenames in the "Label" column. That causes AIJ to interpret the filename as two columns, and the second column is then interpreted as the "slice" column (and everything else gets pushed over a column too). The NaNs show in the "slice" column because there are non-numeric values in the second part of the filename.
If you change the filename extension to .xls (or anything other than .txt or .csv), the file should open correctly as a tab delimited file, even with the space in the Label name. I use the extension .tbl so that when I double click a file it doesn't open in Excel.
If you want to change the default filename extension to .tbl, .xls, or something else of your choosing, do that at AIJ_Toolbar->Edit->Options->Input/Output->"Filename extension for tables".
If you really want to save tables in comma separated format, change the default extension name, as explained in the previous sentence, to .csv.
