Excel will always place text inside quotes when exporting as described. One
option is to run a find replace on eth resulting text file from Wordpad or
another text editor. replace "" with " should work for you.

When exporting a worksheet to a tab delimited text file (.txt), fields
explicitly typed as text which contain a double quote (") are changed by
replacing each occurence of the single " with a pair of them.

For example the text in the spreadsheet reads: "Tin Foil" Revenues the
exported text is ""Tin Foil"" Revenues.

How do I stop this action? I have Excell 2007 and my spreadsheet has many
thousands of quoted strings.
