A text file is just that - a file containing text characters. You
could impose a structure on those characters, eg by wrapping them with
quotes and separating them with commas (i.e. a .csv file), but it is
up to the receiving program to interpret what those structural
characters mean.

I tried saving the workbook (after removing extraneous data) as both
Unicode and tab-delimited Text files, to no avail.
