You mean .CSV

(From http://excel.tips.net/Pages/T002483_..._CSV_File.html)

1.Choose Save As from the File menu. (If you are using Excel 2007, click the
Office button and choose Save As.) Excel displays the Save As dialog box.
2.In the Save As Type drop-down list at the bottom of the dialog box, choose
the CSV (Comma delimited) option.
3.Use the other controls in the dialog box to specify a file name and
location.
4.Click on Save.
5.Excel may display a dialog box telling you that not all Excel features can
be maintained in the format you have chosen. Click on Yes to continue saving
the information in CSV format.
At this point your worksheet is saved in CSV format. I generally find it a
good idea to close the workbook, without saving. At this point you will have
your original Excel workbook (in Excel format) and the CSV file, which
contains the information you wanted in CSV format.


If this post helps click Yes
