Thanks for bringing this back up. I've always meant to ask what the OP meant by "garbled" and how many characters the limit seemed to be and what was being used to determine that the resulting file was actually "garbled", mostly because I've never experienced such problems with it. I've very successfully exported more than 135 columns and more than 1,200 characters wide with it to be used for telephone ordering and billing and that was almost 2 decades ago and continue to do so.
