#### Exporting the report results to a Text file

To export the results of a report to a Text file, follow the steps below:

1. In JReport Designer, open the report set that contains the report you want to export.
2. On the report tab bar, click the tab that represents the report.
3. Click File > Export To > Text to display the Export to Text dialog. See the dialog.

4. Specify the destination of the exported file.
5. Make sure that the Delimited Format checkbox is unchecked.
6. Specify other settings according to your requirements.
7. Click OK to perform the export operation.

See also Export to Text dialog for details about options in the dialog.

Note: When exporting a report to a Text file, pay attention to the following:

- The property Columned of the report will be ignored.
- Each object in the exported result file will be located according to its dimension values (x, y, width and height) you set in the Report Inspector.
- The list object could not be exported to a Text file.
- If the report contains drop-down list object, only the selected value in the list can be exported.
- The objects, which seem in the same line in other formats (such as PDF), may be in the different lines, or some unwanted blank lines will be generated. The exception is caused by the differences between the dimension values - y and height.
