Glossary  Return to Start  Previous  Next

 

To write information from Personal Knowbase articles to an external comma-delimited CSV 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 you want to write to the delimited 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, select which parts of the article you want to export.

 

For writing to delimited files, you probably want to include at least the title, date, keywords, and content fields.

 

Select the OK button.

 

The Export dialog box is displayed.

 

Select the CSV (Comma-Separated Values) option in the Save as Type box.

 

Use the dialog box to select the folder and name of the text file you want to write.

 

Select the OK button.

 

The CSV file is now written to disk. You can view the new file using most spreadsheet programs or a text editor. Note that any font formatting in your articles is not exported to CSV files.
