tab delimited characters
 
In Excel 2003 worksheet. I am trying to convert it to a (tab delimited) .txt
file.
Why is it that when I have a column with i.e. (5" tall) text wording. The
delimited file has it as (5"" tall) wording. Why does it add the extra "
symbol?

tek,

Read up on text files at http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/textfiles.htm, in the "Delimited
Text Files" section. It discusses the text qualifiers (quote marks).
