Preparing the Printout
Saving the Contents of a Printer Layout Page

Chromeleon provides various formats for saving the report data of the current sample:

• To save the active page of the Printer Layout, select Save as on the File menu. The Save As dialog box is opened. Under Save as type:

• Select Excel ... (*.xls) to convert your data into the Excel format. Enter the file name and click Save to save your data as a separate file. In addition to the values of the table, any graphics and diagrams included in the table are also saved to the new file. If the Printer Layout of the Report Definition File (RDF) contains several worksheets, the Excel file has the same structure. Please note that different Excel file types are available, depending on the Excel version (Excel V4 or Excel V5 or V7).

• Select HTML (*.htm) to save your data as an HTML page. Graphics and diagrams cannot be converted and saved in HTML format.

• Select Tabbed Text (*.txt) to save your data as pure text. The content of the individual report columns is separated by a tab stop. Graphics and diagrams cannot be converted and saved in Tabbed Text format.
