ImageAXS Pro lets you export your collection data to a text file for
use in other formats, as well as to a proprietary format that you can
import into the Macintosh version of ImageAXS Pro and will be able
to import into future Windows versions of ImageAXS Pro.
You can export text files to a comma-separated values (CSV) format,
or use delimiters that you select.

ILE
A common format for exporting data tables or spreadsheets from
many programs uses tabs to separate (or delimit) data fields.
You can export data records in an ImageAXS Pro collection to a tab-
delimited text format, or customize the export settings to use other
characters to separate data fields, as well as other elements of your
records.
To export data to a text format delimited by tabs (or other characters of your
choice):
STEP 1 Select the data records that you want to export.
Each thumbnail or row of data is outlined in red to show
that it is selected.
STEP 2 In the File menu, highlight Export, then select Text File from the
submenu that appears.
The Export Data dialog box appears, displaying the Format
panel.
