A file that holds text. The term text file is often used as a synonym for ASCII file, a file in which characters are represented by their ASCII codes.
ASCII = American Standard Code for Information Interchange
Each line of text ends with a carriage return.
No formatting.
No images.
If you have a data file and save it as a txt file or ASCII, each individual field of information, example - name, would be enclosed in quotes and fields would be separated by a comma. Each individual record would end in a carriage return.
Data in txt or ASCII format can be read by almost every program I know, including Excel or Access.
