To write information from Personal Knowbase articles to an external text file:
| • | Select the Export command from the File menu. |
The Export Articles Setup dialog box is displayed.
| • | From the Export Range box, select which articles to write to the file. |
You may export all the articles in your data file, only the bookmarked articles, the currently selected articles (if a list of articles is selected), only articles highlighted in the Titles column, or just the current article (if an Article Window is the current window).
| • | From the Export What box, make sure that at least Include Titles and Include Article Content are selected. |
| • | To sort the articles by their article dates, select Dates from the Sort by box. |
If you leave Titles selected, the articles are sorted by their titles.
| • | Select the OK button. |
The Export dialog box is displayed.
| • | Use this dialog box to select the folder and name of the text file you want to write. |
Leave the option in the Save as Type box at Text Files.
| • | Select the OK button. |
The text file is now written to disk. Note that any font formatting in your articles is not exported to text files.
Before exporting, you may want to change the header for the exported file. Select the File Properties command from the File menu to edit the Export Header.
| TIP: | To change the width of the lines in your exported text file, set the Line Length for Text Files option from the Export tab of the Preferences Dialog Box (File Menu). |
