Default Converting an Excel file to Fixed Width

I need to change an excel file to a Fixed Width text file and I am a little
lost. Can anyone help?

This is some previous instructions I followed, but for some reason the file
cut my data in half and placed them on top of each other vertically - i.e.
cutting colemns n - z and placing it under columns a - m.
- Flush all fields left
- adjust the column width for each column for its appropriate number of
allotted spaces
- save as - Formatted Text (Space Delimited) (*.prn)
- Close file and change .prn to .txt

Can anyone help with an easier way or how I can keep the file from getting
cut up.

THANKS!!!!
