Click Send To and choose one of the following file formats:
|
|
▪
|
PDF (Portable Document Format). If you save a report as a PDF file, the person who receives the report must have software, such as Adobe Reader, that is capable of opening a PDF file.
|
|
▪
|
HTML. When you save a report in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) format, the report can be viewed in browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
|
|
▪
|
Tab-Delimited Text File. When you save a report in tab-delimited text file format, fields in the report are separated by tab spaces. Tab-delimited text files can be opened by most word processing and spreadsheet software.
|
|
▪
|
Comma-Separated Text File. When you save a report in comma-separated text file format, fields in the report are separated by commas. Comma-separated text files can be opened by most word processing and spreadsheet software.
|
|
▪
|
Simple Text File. When you save a report in simple text file format, fields are separated by spaces so the appearance of the report is as similar as possible to a printed version of the report. Simple text files can be opened by most word processing and spreadsheet software.

A message stating that "Faxing of reports and forms from AccountEdge is not available on Mac OS X.” will appear. The message will include instructions based upon your version of Mac OS X.
|
Depending upon which version of Mac OS X you are using, you can either fax by using Mac OS X's built in faxing that you can access from the print dialog or by using FAXstf X which is bundled with some versions of Mac OS X.
If you have FAXstf X installed, you can fax documents by printing to your Apple Internal Modem. For more on faxing, see the FAXstf X User's Guide.
You can open reports that you have saved as tab-delimited files, comma-separated files or unformatted text files. You must have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer.

caution : [Windows users] Avoid exiting your AccountEdge software while exporting reports to Excel
If you exit your software or manually close the DRVXL16.exe application using the Windows Task Manager before all the report information has been transferred to Excel, a General Protection Fault error will occur. We strongly recommend that you wait until the report information has been transferred to Excel before closing your MYOB software.
Each report in your software has a corresponding Excel template. All Excel templates are stored in a folder named Spredsht, which is located in your software folder. You can modify these templates if you want.
For a list of the Excel templates and the reports they correspond to, see Microsoft Excel templates.
If you modify the Excel templates, do not move the [[Tbl:Body Table]] field. This field must be located in Column B, row 11, in order for each report’s total amounts to be calculated correctly. If you move [[Tbl:Body Table]], the totals will be inaccurate.
Also note that if you want to perform additional calculations using the exported report data, you should either create a macro that will perform the calculation after the report is imported, or place your reference fields on a separate spreadsheet and update it after the report is imported. Please refer to your Excel documentation for more information.
