Extract Selected Records - Short Version: F8 or "Edit/Extract → Extract Table"
To extract some or all of the records in the Measured Results List into a tab-delimited ASCII text file, select the
records you want to extract (7a in Figure 7, use “Ctrl +A” if you want to select all the records) and either press
F8 or use menu "Edit/Extract → Extract *.tab". A standard Windows dialog will appear (Figure 7) in which you
can choose the directory for your extract, and the name of the file. A default directory and a default file name
are offered, but we recommend that you modify both for your best convenience.
The tab-delimited ASCII text file can be edited by simple text editors such as Notepad or WordPad and it can
also be viewed by popular spreadsheet applications such as Excel or GNUmeric or Open Office. If you view the
file by a spreadsheet application and make changes in it you want to keep, the spreadsheet application will
usually ask you to choose format in which you want to keep the file. It is usually possible to retain the same
format.
In addition, there is also a copy of the same extract in Excel format *.xls.
