It appears that the actual contents of Field2 = 05329954A\n where '\n' is a RETURN (not a TAB). I was able to remove the \n by (1) select/highlight the column containing Field2, (2) open Data > Text to Columns, (3) Under 'Separator Options' set Y=Separated by, Y=Other as \n then click 'OK'. Now save as CSV.
