    Macro to save text string as an MS-DOS format text document

    I have a template in excel that is set up to take data entered into a table, and convert it into a text sting to import into another program I use for work. Currently, to import the data into the program, we copy the text string without formatting into wordpad, and save it as a Text Document MS-DOS format .dat file.

    To import the data into the program, I must copy the link to the program into Run followed by the link to the .dat file.

    Is there a way to automate this function with a macro in wordpad?

    If it isn't possible to do this through wordpad, is it possible to save to a text document MS-DOS format .dat file through a different method?
