Copy the range of data you want to save to a new sheet then use the below.

'Save as a text file
objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=C:\Test.txt, FileFormat:=xlText

This is to open the spreadsheet.

Dim oXLApp As Object 
Dim objExcel As Object
Set objExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set oXLApp = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(FileName:=C:\Book1.xls)
objExcel.Visible = False 'show excel or not
objExcel.DisplayAlerts = False
objExcel.WorkSheets("Sheet1").Select ' Select sheet to work with

and this is now to save as a txt file.

objExcel.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:=C:\Test.txt, FileFormat:=xlText
