Perkins, do you have a Mac? If so, there are scripts you can download to do exporting in all sorts of formats.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I do have a mac. Do you have links, or should I start exploring?

Gimme a sec....
OK: [link]
Check out the "exporting info" catagory - I think that's the one. There should also be instructions on how to intall the scripts (they just need to go into a certain directory).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What does the first bit of one of the lines look like, Perkins?

Thanks Tommyrot!
I have no idea if it will let me post this, but this is the .xml version.
Nope, didn't work. I can mail it to you.

Perkins, you can export to text and open in Excel (see edit above) if Excel is your target app.

Huh. What options did you select? Tab delimited? How do you define didn't work?

I never got to the selecting tab delimited stage-- excel just refused to recognize either the text or the xml file.

Is that Excel on a Mac you're opening it with? Or on the PC? And when you say don't recognise -- you mean you couldn't select it to open, or you selected it to open and it crapped out?
