I'd use a helper column that would concatenate the values in the first for
cells:

=LEFT(A1&REPT(" ",10),10)
&RIGHT(REPT(" ",10)&TEXT(B1,"000.00"),10)
&LEFT(C1&REPT(" ",10),10)
&RIGHT(REPT(" ",10)&TEXT(D1,"000.0000"),10)

(all one cell)

Text in A1 and C1, numbers in B1 and D1.
Then drag down the column.
Then copy that column, paste into notepad and save my .txt file from there.

I want to export an excel file as a fixed width text file. I will have four
columns I want each to remain 10 charactors wide with the text left aligned
and numbers right aligned. How do I export in this format ?

Thanks
