I tried that and the formatting doesn't come out right. I have played with different fonts and font sizes and can't get the spacing right. How do I size the column to number of characters?

I could use some help please.
I am trying to mimic something I did all the time in Excel and need to do in Calc. I need to export a calc file as a space delimited text file with the column width set at:
Column 1 22 Characters
Column 2 1 Character
Column 3 5 Characters

I have searched the mail archives and can't find anything on this. I have tried save as a CSV files and formatting it as fixed width but I can't get it to work right. With Excel I would just get the data into the columns I needed and then size the columns by the number of characters that I needed in the column and then export it to a space delimited file. Please let me know the best way to do this. If I need to use something besides inches for the measurement of the column width I can do that but I need to know how to figure out how to do it. I appreciate your help.

It is an option of save > text csv. Try it.
