So, if you hit command+shift+T, (make sure you're focused within Text Edit when you do this, or you may add something accidentally to your dock,) it should toggle between ritch text, and plain text. You want to confirm that you are on plain text. Once this is done, then try saving the file like you would do normally, and it should save as plain ascii text in the standard txt unicode utf8 format.

Good Morning!

I was trying to save a file under "Save As" in TextEdit and I wanted to save it as a plain text file. My only option appeared to be "Open Text Document." I was reluctant to do that, because I remember from some time back, that when I tried opening a document saved in this format, it didn't seem to work on non Apple platforms. Is there a regular plain text option I'm missing somewhere? Thanks!
