I can open up a 25mb .txt file with Excel, but then Excel won't save the
file as an Excel file. It just times out when saving. I am able to save as a
tab-delimited .TXT file, but I was hoping to keep the data in Excel
format.
 
I can't reproduce your problem (Mac XL10.1.5, OS 10.3.1)

I just read in a 30MB .txt file and saved it out as a 90MB .xls file.

Do you get a system time-out error? How much free hard-drive space
do you have? How much RAM (if you're tight, swap files could slow
things down to a crawl)?
