I am killing myself trying to figure this out. I pray someone can help me find an easy solution.
One of my vendors needs me to send a .txt file containing data to be printed on cards. My Excel spreadsheet (original format) contains about 5 colums with text of varying widths.
All five fields on the printed cards have fixed widths.
How can I save the Excel spreadsheet as a .txt file with fixed column widths? Meaning: If a cell only contains 3 characters, how can I force Excel to translate that to 8 characters (w/5 blank spaces) in the txt file.
I hope I explained this clear enough. I would appreciate any help I can get.
