Default Convert Excel to text

Tab delimited separates the fields with a tab character. If A1 requires 5 characters, the 6th
character in the file is the tab and the 7th is the 1st character from B1. You don't supply a
column width with the tab-delimited format.

Thanks a lot. For saving do you mean to save as 'tab
delimited' format.if i give column width as a 10 and then
my next column will start from 11th space in the text
file. Correct me if I am wrong

make all your text a monospaced font like courier new and

set your column
widths to the proper spacing. Then save as a space

delimited file (fixed
width).

Or you could write code to loop through you cells and

build the proper
output strings.
