Cell export to Text File?
 
Is it possible to export information in cells to a text file?
Where each cell would be a line in the file?

Would it be possible to make a button do this if it is at all possible?

Try saving as filetype CSV.

Yes that is the file type I can use, and I know I can save a sheet as csv
..txt file.

But I guess i wasn't clear with my question.

Is it possible to take click on a button and export or write to a .txt file
without using "save as" so that you can continue to work in the original
file?

Yes.

Maybe you can glean something from these examples:

Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program:
www.smokeylake.com/excel
(or directly: http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/text_write_program.htm)

Chip Pearson's:
