Default Saving as Text (tab delimited) surrounds text with "quotes"


Hi all,

I'm trying to save an excel file as a tab delimited text file. I do not
want to use quotes as a text qualifier. However, certain fields in the
file (fields with large amounts of text) are automatically being
surrounded in quotes by excel.

So let's say I have a spreadsheet with two columns, 1 row, that reads:

data | data data data data

All I have to do is open this and save it as a text file, and Excel is
automatically changing the text file to read:

data | "data data data data"

Using Excel 2003

can anyone help solve this annoying problem?
