Set the columns to the character width of the fixed width column, e.g 30 for
30 characters. (even if the data is partly hidden or there seems a lot of
room in the cell)

Now save the file as a 'formatted text (Space Delimited)'. That should do it

Is it possible to create a fixed length text file from an Excel file?
Thanks!
