Let me just clarify one thing that Zack said. He's 100% correct on every single thing that he said, however his wording may be a bit unclear on one note. When he says quote: from now on, he's meaning from now on with that specific document. In other words, say you open another new file, and want to save it in txt format. You'll have to do those steps again on a file per file basis. It won't make that setting globally permanant from one file to another. Does that make sense?

Actually, yes, but not quite in the way you would expect. What you need to do is go to the format menu I believe, and there is an item called "make plain text."I may be misremembering the menu, it's somewhat early over here and I'm not in a position to check right now. At any rate, once you've selected that item, if you choose to make the document plain text, you should be able to save it as a.txt file from then on.
I hope this helps,
Zack.

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!
