Do you really mean plain text ascii? For instance

A1: 123 B1: abc
A2: def B2 456

producing a file with 123abcdef456

or do you want the values in your cells as text, separated by commas or
tabs?

    123,abc
    def,456

If the latter, save the file in CSV or Text format (File/Save As... and
choose your desired format).
