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. This will save the file as options.ini and not. Then type in options.ini in the file name block. Just keep in mind that whenever you save a workbook in another file format, some of its formatting, data, and features might not be saved. Also, if you save a file using Notepad, select save as and then select the down arrow next to save as type and select all files. 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. Sometimes, you might need to save a workbook in another file format, like a text (txt) or a comma-separated values format (csv). The built-in application called TextEdit will save rich text files at a defaul (rtf) which is not what youre. html as the filename suffix and choose Don’t Append when TextEdit helpfully asks if you want to add the. I downloaded an application called Notepad. The secret is to choose Make Plain Text from the Format menu before you try to save the file. 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. I can assure you that you can save HTML files using TextEdit. Close the message window and discard the message. Thanks for putting this online, Akshay, I’d never have worked it out independently. Make sure HTML files is selected, and then specify a file name and click Save. Put any name for the file and choose Unicode Text (.txt) for Save as type.
