Default Cell content surrounded by quotes when saving as tab delimited for

When performing a "Save as" a "Tab (delimited)" file in Excel 2000, cells
contents that contain a comma are automatically surrounded by double quotes
(").

Is there a way to save a file in tab delimited format without Excel
automatically encapsulating text data that contain commas with double quotes?
This appears to be a known issue, but I have not been able to find a solution.

Tried to open the saved file in Note Pad and perform a find and replace, but
the file is too big and consequently freezes application.

Thanks, Jerry
