Convert Excel to text
 
make all your text a monospaced font like courier new and set your column
widths to the proper spacing. Then save as a space delimited file (fixed
width).

Or you could write code to loop through you cells and build the proper
output strings.

In my US English it is

Formatted Text (space delimited) (*.prn)

and is found pretty far down in the choices.

Tab delimited separates the fields with a tab character. If A1 requires 5 characters, the 6th
character in the file is the tab and the 7th is the 1st character from B1. You don't supply a
column width with the tab-delimited format.
