ABBYY FineReader lets you save tables in the XLS, XLSX, and CSV formats.

XLS and XLSX

To save your text in XLS or XLSX:

 Click the arrow next to the Save button on the main toolbar and then click Save as

Microsoft Excel Workbook… or Save as Microsoft Excel 97–2003 Workbook…. If

the format that you need is not displayed in the list, click Save in Other Formats… and

then select the desired format from the Save as type drop–down list. Alternatively, on the

File menu, click Save Document As, and then click Microsoft Excel 97–2003

Workbook.

Tip: Additional saving options are available in the Options dialog box: click Tools > Options…,

click the Save tab, and then click the XLSX tab.

The following options are available:

Document layout

Select one of the following options from this drop–down list based on how you plan to use the

document:

a. Formatted text

Preserves fonts, font sizes and paragraphs, but does not preserve exact positions of objects

and line spacing. You will get continuous left–aligned text (texts printed in right–to left

scripts will be right–aligned).

Note: Any vertical text will be displayed horizontally if this option is selected.

b. Plain text

Does not preserve text formatting.

Text settings

 Ignore text outside tables

Saves only the tables and ignores the rest.

 Convert numeric values to numbers

Converts numbers into the "Numbers" format in the XLS file. Microsoft Excel may

perform arithmetical operations on cells of this format.

 Keep headers and footers

Preserves headers and footers in the output document.

 Create separate worksheet for each page (XLSX only)

Select this option to save pages from the source document as separate worksheets.

Picture settings

You can save pictures in XLSX documents. Documents containing a large number of pictures are

very large. To reduce the size of the file, select the desired option from the drop –down list in the

Picture settings group.
