Convert XLS to TXT

XLS files are Excel files that use the Binary Interchange File Format (BIFF). This was the default format for Excel versions 97-2003.

XLS files can have multiple sheets, and each sheet can contain multiple rows and columns of data. They support various data types, including text, numbers, dates, and formulas.

Key features of XLS files include:

• Works with older versions of Excel and other spreadsheet software
• Can store formatting information, charts, and macros
• Smaller file size compared to newer formats like XLSX
• Limited to 65,536 rows and 256 columns per sheet

While XLS files are still widely used, they're gradually being replaced by the more modern XLSX format.

TXT (Text) files are simple. They just contain plain text without any formatting.

TXT files have some handy features:

• They work on all operating systems and devices
• They are small and easy to create, change, and read
• There is no formatting, just text
• Any text editor can open and edit them

People often use TXT files for:

• Quick notes and memos
• Making readme files for software projects
• Storing settings information
• Sharing raw data between different systems

TXT files do not have fancy formatting options. But their simplicity makes them perfect when you just need plain text and want to keep file size small.
