No, it's NOT. It's an option for EXPORT, not for SYNC. I just looked.
Sync only has choices for "All", "Claris Organizer" and "Now Contact" or
"Now Up-To-Date" (depending on what Newton app you're trying to sync".

You're trying to use EXPORT, not Sync. They are two different buttons
and two different fuctions in NCU. Export DOES have the option of text
exports as that's the most flexible format for use with other programs
that support import of data. Most programs that import data do so in
text format, usually with comma or tab separated fields,one line per
record.
If you haven't done so, read the NCU manual. If you don't have it, see if
it's on the Manuals section of the Support Area of Apple's web site in
Acrobat (PDF) format. It may also have been provided with NCU (I have it
in my folder as "NCU Manual.pdf" but I could have added or renamed it in
the past....
