First, you&#x27;re wrong again, you can also save as tab delimited text or just text. Also, Access has some more Excel export options.

You shouldn&#x27;t use Word as a text editor either :-)<p>There are specialized editors if you want to directly edit a csv file etc. I use them sometimes. That&#x27;s not what Excel is for.
