When you output results to text files, you will find that the same width restrictions apply that are active when you output into the console. You should use a combination of Format-Table and Out-File with -Width to allow more width.
Get-Process |
Format-Table Name, Description, Company, StartTime -AutoSize |
Out-File $home\result.txt -Width 1000
Invoke-Item "$home\result.txt"
Format-Table -AutoSize uses only as much width as is needed to display all information, and Out-File -Width specifies the maximum width that Format-Table can use.
