File output is in the format of printer. For example, if you have a postscript printer, the output file will be in postscript. Same for PCL. You can have text output if you run the report in character mode. You can't do it from designer, you have to run it in batch mode:

rwrun60 module=<yourreport>.rdf userid=<username/password> mode=character paramform=no batch=yes destype=file desname=<yourfile> desformat=dflt

In this case desformat references one of .prt files in $ORACLE_HOME/reports60/admin/printer.

Post reply if you have more questions on that.
