I used to be able to save a report as a plain text (.txt) file and then open in Excel. Now even though I specify to save as .txt it automatically saves as .pdf. I can convert to .xls but I do not retain the forrmat (columns, etc.) This is a sudden change. Any ideas?

If I had to guess, it would be that the TS PDF Generator is corrupt. See: https://us-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=222924850024651&page=11&position=0&q=print%20to%20txt%20file%20err

Another idea would be the version of Office. It needs to be 32-bit. See: https://us-kb.sage.com/portal/app/portlets/results/viewsolution.jsp?solutionid=222924650021222&page=1&position=3&q=Microsoft%20Office%20vs

It may work for you to print to file first as a .prn file. Open the printout.prn and print again as .txt.
