/text/shared/00/00000207.xhp Export of text files The Export of text files dialog allows you to define the export options for text files. The dialog will be displayed if you save spreadsheet data as file type "Text CSV", and if the Edit filter settings check box is marked in the Save As dialog. Field options Defines the field separator, text separator and character set that is used for the text export. Character set Specifies the character set for text export. Field delimiter Choose or enter the field delimiter, which separates data fields. Text delimiter Choose or enter the text delimiter, which encloses every data field. Save cell content as shown Enabled by default, data will be saved as displayed, including applied number formats. If this checkbox is not marked, raw data content will be saved, as in older versions of the software. Depending on the number format, saving cell content as shown may write values that during an import cannot be interpreted as numerical values anymore. Fixed column width Exports all data fields with a fixed width. The width of a data field in the exported text file is set to the current width of the corresponding column. Values are exported in the format as currently seen in the cell. If a value is longer than the fixed column width, it will be exported as a ### string. If a text string is longer than the fixed column width, it will be truncated at the end. The alignment Left, Centered, and Right will be simulated by inserted blanks.
