Export File Format
You specify the format in which export files are to be saved.
If you have decided to use CSV format, you must keep in mind when editing in Excel that a CSV
file can be only opened properly in Excel if the Open dialog is used. Opening a CSV file by
double-clicking in Explorer often results in an unusable file. You will find it easier to work with
CSV files in Excel if you use the following procedure:
1. Open the export file in Excel
2. Save the files as XLS files
3. Translate the text in the XLS files
4. Save the XLS files in Excel in CSV format.
Note
Export files may not be renamed.
