Does anyone out there know how to do this? I've been banging head for
awhile now trying to answer this seemingly simple question.

Export to what?
There are two ways that you may want to investigate. Both are found under
Tools->Options->Results.
Here you can select output to file.
You can also for output to text select which delimiter to use. For instance,
you can select tab as delimiter. Then in the results tab press CTRL-A
followed by CTRL-C, and if Excel where you want the data, you go there
and press CTRL-V in cell A1.

in Enterprise Manager and copy THOSE results, you get the column
headers.
Go figure...

delimiter works exactly as you stated. I much prefer writing SQL in
Query Analyzer (as opposed to Enterprise Manager), so this is going to
be my method from now on! :)
