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

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
