The following are the formats to which
specific object types can be sent or scheduled.
Crystal report formats
For
Crystal reports,
you can select from the following formats:
Microsoft Excel (97-2003)
Microsoft Excel (97-2003) (Data
Only)
Microsoft Word (97-2003) — Editable
(RTF)
Note:
When you select a file
format other than
Crystal Reports,
the program preserves as much of the formatting as the export format allows.
However, you may lose some or all of the formatting that appears in the report.
The difference between
Excel and Excel (Data only) is that the Excel option preserves the look and
feel of your original report, while the Excel (Data only) focuses on preserving
data and does not merge cells.
The Tab Separated Text
format places a tab character between values and attempts to preserve the
formatting of the report; the Separated Values format places a specified
character between values and does not attempt to preserve formatting.
The Microsoft Word
(97-2003) format maintains as much formatting as possible, including graphics.
Each object appears in an individual text field. Microsoft Word (97-2003) —
Editable format does not preserve as much formatting; text is displayed in
lines and images are placed in line with the text. Rich Text Format is similar
to Microsoft Word (97-2003).
