Default Why cant I save as a text file in excel?

I'm trying to export data from a spreadsheet so it can be used in a simple
script written in Octave. I figured the easiest way to do this would be to
save the file as CSV or something similar. Excel help says that I should be
able to select delimited text file from the save as file type drop down menu.
Its not there. I can only select

Excel Workbook .xls
XML Spreadsheet
XML data
Single file webpage
Web page
Template

Thanks

There's a scroll bar to the right of that list.

It looks like you didn't scroll down to find the rest of the list.
