How do I  save a Numbers spreadsheet as an ASCII spreadsheet

I need to convert an Appleworks spreadsheet to a Numbers spreadsheet and then save it as an ASCII file in order to upload it to my internet site.
Conversion of the AW SS to Numbers is no problem. However, unlike AW, there is no selection I can make in the "Save As" menu to save the Numbers file as an ASCII.
Any suggestions?

Peggy:
As you suggested, I copied and pasted my 450 row Numbers table into Pages (12 pages in total) and then converted it to text - I saved it to my desktop and renamed the file with a ".txt" tag. Then I uploaded to the server.
The result when seen on the net is a page with 10 offices with total sales volume, units sold, etc. However, using the above procedure, while I do get the names of the 10 offices, I get no numbers.
If any of you wish to contact my by email, I will direct you Peggy, Jerry and Brie, to the site to see the present result and future effort results.
Thank you for your time and efforts.

  • How can I save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file?

    Okay, I would like to save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file. But of course I can't do that, since Numbers only saves as a comma separated values file.
    Plan B: I can open up a CSV file created by Numbers in TextEdit, and I would like to Find and Replace all the commas with tabs. So I open up the Find window, enter a comma under Find, but of course when I put the cursor in the Replace blank and hit the Tab key, it just goes to the next blank instead of giving me a Tab.
    Is there a way I can get a Tab into that blank so I can replace all the commas with tabs?

    Hello
    When we use TextEdit as I described, rows are separated by Returns.
    It appears that your program requires LineFeeds.
    Here is a neat soluce.
    Save this script as an Application Bundle.
    --\[SCRIPT tsv2csv]
    (* copy to the clipboard a block of datas separated by tabs
    run the script
    You will get on the desktop a csv file named from the current date-time.
    The values separator is set to match the Bento's requirements:
    If the decimal separator is period, the script uses commas.
    If the decimal separator is comma, the script uses semi-colons.
    This may be changed thru the setting of the property maybeSemiColon.
    According to the property needLF,
    embedded Returns will be replaced by LineFeeds
    or
    embedded LineFeeds will be replaced by Returns

  • How do i save random numbers?

    below is the coding for random numbers
    public class Random {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    java.util.Random rand = new java.util.Random();
    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
    System.out.println(rand.nextInt(10));
    }how do i save the random numbers?????

    That was a quick sample. I'm guessing you're not too familiar with java. I expect the error was because you havn't imported the java.io library.
    import java.io.*;
    public class tester {
      public static void main(String args[]) {
        try {
          PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("tmp.txt"));
          java.util.Random rand = new java.util.Random();
          for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
            out.println(rand.nextInt(10));
          out.close();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
          ioe.printStackTrace();
    }This will compile and run. Notice how you have declared your Random class using java.util.Random? You could have imported java.util.* or java.util.Random then used the declaration 'Random rand = .....' instead (like how i've declared the PrintWriter).

  • How do i save a numbers doc under a different name

    I'm trying to save a numbers document under a different name.  I could change it easily yesterday but it's not working today?

  • How do I save a numbers spreadsheet on my iPad as a template?

    I have created a Spreadsheet on my iPad for staff to record time and materials on site an I would like to save it as a template so they can open a new copy of it each time and not change the original spreadsheet. Also I would like to be able to lock the cells on the spreadsheet so they can only enter data via the forms I have created. Can this be done in numbers on the iPad? Many thanks.

    Install the Number app on your iPad.

  • How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet in .txt format?

    In order to import a contact list into an online program, I am supposed to Save As a TXT file (text delimited) - I am not given that option.  I have tried numerous ways to save as Excel and convert and cannot find anything that will work.  Please help.

    From my point of view, the easy clean way is to select the table
    copy
    Paste in Textedit
    set format to text
    Save.
    An alternate scheme is this old script :
    --{code}
    --[SCRIPTclipboard2textFile]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Scriptl :clipboard2textFile.scpt
    déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:
    Copiez les données à exporter dans le Presse-papiers.
    menu Scripts > clipboard2textFile
    Le script créera un fichier texte.
    --=====
    L'aide du Finder explique:
    L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
    Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
    +++++++++
    Save the script as a Script, an Application or an Application Bundle:clipboard2textFile.xxx
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:
    Coopy the datas to export into the clipboard
    menu Scripts > clipboard2textFile
    The script will create a text file.
    --=====
    The Finder's Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

  • Save a numbers spreadsheet as a simple text document?

    How do you save a numbers spreadsheet as a simple text document? I can't seem to find this option anywhere. Simply renaming the extension also seems to maintain rich text.

    An extension name is just a reminder helping us and the operating system to recognize which kind is the contents of a given file.
    Changing a trousers against a dress will not change Mr. Obama in Mrs. Clinton;-)
    Same thing for the files.
    At this time, Numbers doesn't offer the ability to export as a text file.
    Happily, our machines are delivered with TextEdit.
    Copy the block of cells of your choice to the clipboard
    Paste in an empty TextEdit document
    Format > Convert as text
    Save
    That's all folks.
    Of course, you may

  • How do I save my iWork documents to iCloud?

    How do I save my Numbers & Pages documents FROM my Mac Desktop TO iCloud so I can access the most recent versions of these documents from my iPad?

    If you open a document in Pages or Numbers, and you have done the initial signup at iwork.com, then there is a Share icon in the top right of the screen.  Clicking on that icon gives you three options:  1.  Share with viewers, 2. Publish on the Web, 3. Upload for Private Use.
    It works well for me.

  • How do i save a multi page spreadsheet as a multi page pdf

    how do i save a multi page numbers 3.5 spreadsheet as a multi page pdf?  has this feature been removed?

    I don't use Numbers - so I don't know if it had that option.  Here is a kluge, if you print a Numbers sheet to PDF using print from the File menu, then open that PDF file in Preview, then choose the Thumbnail View options you can drag any desired page(s) from that Numbers converted to PDF file to your desktop or folder.  Those files will have a  (dragged) #.pdf name in them.
    Edit: I misunderstood you to say how do you print multiple page PDF Numbers as Multiple page PDF.
    To Jerold's reply below, you have to make sure you select all pages.  I think it defaults to current page.  You can also export via Numbers to PDF.
