Can't comment on content yet. However, can on format:

I suspect the reason you're having trouble getting your text files 
to look right is because you're using tabs, not spaces, to delimit 
the columns. Every editor has a different default setting for how 
large it displays a tab character. And that's even before the 
different default fonts used.

So long as you use a fixed-width font, though, a text document with 
spaces instead of tabs will display the same in every editor. (The 
only problem you can run into is the different linebreak characters 
used on differnet platforms, but there's utilities to handle that).

Similarly, if you're going to provide Word and OpenOffice format 
docs, you should use the program's native tables rather than tabs.
