Business Objects Report Viewer export to "plain text"

I have a report that creates a list of records where the layout is a bunch of fixed length fields concatenated together. This file will be processed by other system and requires an exact record layout.

The end users of our system use the Business Objects Report Viewer to view reports on screen and send to the printer or export to various formats. Unlike the CR Developer product, the Report Viewer does not have an export to Plain Text. It only has Rich Text format which adds a bunch of formatting control characters to the file, totally making a mess of the fixed record layout needed in the text file.

Any ideas around this?
