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.
