Export to Word File¶

The Export to Word file task exports datasets or other data structures to a Word file.

The Export to Word File task is divided into two tabs:

The Options tab¶

A detailed description of the Options tab is provided in the Export tasks introductory page.

The Export Options tab is made of the Dataset Structure pane only.

Within this pane, users can set and configure the following options:

Data separator: the data separator delimiting the values of the data to be exported in the output file. Possible values are:
- COMMA
- TABBING
- SEMICOLON
- SPACE
- OTHER: after having selected this option, specify any other wished data separator.
String for missing values: the character or string used to indicate missing values.
Text delimiter: select from the drop-down list the symbol used to identify strings, which will included in the exported file (e.g. selecting the symbol “, the string age will be exported as “age”).
Put names in line (0 means ‘no names’): the line number from which the names of the columns will be taken.
Put types in line (0 means ‘no types’): the line number from which the names of the data types will be taken.
