Problem with xlTextPrinter?
 
I am trying to save a excel document which contains data only in th
first column and each column is to be saved in a row in the tex
document, everything was working fine until I found that apparently i
the row ia too long if kind goes haywire.

Basically it breaks the rest of the row and puts 3 rows down from th
last row.

I cannot break the line, it has to be everything in the line.

I tried other text printing formats but it adds double quotes where i
is not supposed to.

Best Regards

Noo

Nobody. :(

Basically let's say the max is 7 characters (Of course the proble
occurs on 255 or something similar) and I have the rows in Excel wit
this data


ALEX
ALEXANDRE
M


What I get in the text file is:

ALEX
ALEXAND
ME

R


And as I said using other txt formats double quotes are added where i
is not supposed to, I want the text exactly how it writtne in Exce
(Thus xlTextPrinter, that is, prn file)

Hopefully someone can help me here.

Best Regards

Noo

After 240 characters is when the problem starts.

Maybe you could just copy and paste into NotePad and then save from there.

Or use a macro that creates the .prn file.

Maybe you can steal some code and create your own macro that does it:

Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program:

Look for Text Write in the left hand frame.

Thanks that is exactly what I did (Paste to Notepad) by using SendKey
method.

It is a shame that Notepad can actually do this while Excel can't. :(

Thanks

Best Regards
