Remarks

If the TxtDocumentExporterOptions.Range is not specified, the ShiftTopLeft property allows you to skip the top left empty cells. If the ShiftTopLeft is set to true, the worksheet (before export) is treated as if the non-empty cells are shifted up and left so that the top left cell of the non-empty range becomes the top left cell of the worksheet.

If the ShiftTopLeft is false (default), the top left empty cells are exported, resulting in strings filled with the TxtDocumentExporterOptions.ValueSeparator or TxtDocumentExporterOptions.TextDefaultValueSeparator characters.
