To output from FD to txt (for Notepad), rtf (for Word), pdf (for easy viewing & printing), etc. it's like most other Windows programs:

File
Save As
Change "Save as type" to the file extension you want.

You can also overtype the filename if you like, otherwise it (the file) will save with the same filename and the new extension.

You also need to make sure that if you are saving it as a .txt, pick "text only with layout". Otherwise, you will lose your spacing and your script will look like a jumbled up mess.
