Description j.hoffmann 2013-08-29 18:21:53 UTC 
The documentation 1.12 says: 

Creating a text file requires, first, using the Save As dialog to name the file...

but the correct way for exporting text files is:

From the menu, select Data->Export data->(goto one of the several entries of the list) and then choose from the opening file dialog the file type

(at least for Fedora 19 and gnumeric 1.12.4)
