Perhaps I’ve missed something (it’s been a tough old day!) but I felt I should say something in case anyone else encounters the same thing.īut none of that affects my level of gratitude – I’m genuinely very thankful to you for illuminating how easily my issue could be solved by changing an obscure application preference. The screen cap provided shows the “Fornat> Use the Format menu to choose settings for an open document” is already toggled from “Rich text” to “Plain text” but this wasn’t the case in my “TextEdit> Preferences” until I amended it when my save dialog remained unchanged from beforehand.
#How to save something as a txt file on mac mac#
I’ve only just bought my first MacBook so in some ways I’m new to this (despite having first used a Mac decades ago) hence I’m not sure whether another step was necessary because of a change in OS or a difference between Mac and MacBook – or maybe this page hasn’t displayed correctly for me and I’ve not seen allot step 1 in your above method. This is useful when you need to open it with another application or send the spreadsheet to people who use different software. To save a copy of a Numbers spreadsheet in another format, you export it in the new format. In the save dialog box, you will see the option If no extension is provided, use. Export to other file formats in Numbers on Mac.
Now, go to File -> Save, or press command + S. Since we want to save a plain text file, we will not format the text in any way.
Thanks for putting this online, Akshay, I’d never have worked it out independently. Launch TextEdit, and create a New Document.
