working properly.

Be sure to set the font to fixed width and adjust the column widths correctly.

I need to export an Excel spreadsheet to a fixed width text file--it cannot
be tab- or comma-delimited. I've found that Access can do this correctly for
me and will let me control the export process. However, my problem is that
my company does not support Access so I have to find another method of
exporting, and about the only tool I have available is Excel. No matter what
I seem to do, it saves it in a tab-delimited format.

To try and force it as a fixed width file, I change the font to Courier New,
then I save it as a MS-DOS .txt file. Can someone suggest something that may
help?
