Print ARM reports directly to a word processor or spreadsheet
program by first selecting one or more available reports in the Print
Reports dialog (select File, then Print Reports). Select the "Next"
button on Print Reports dialog to display the Print dialog. (You may
need to select OK to close a Report Messages window.)
A. Word processor:
On the Print dialog, select “Print to Word Processor” button
to create a .rtf (rich text format) document in the Print directory
defined in File options. ARM then opens that document in the associated
word processor program (typically Microsoft® Word) so you may view the
report. The “Print to Word Processor” button is disabled if there is not
a Windows file association for RTF files.
The RTF format contains the most detailed formatting information, and
is best able to preserve ARM report formatting. You may also edit the
RTF document to change formatting.
When the report Global Settings is set to print borders, then
bordered tables in ARM reports are printed as bordered tables in the
rich text document. With this technique, the report appearance in the
word processor document is nearly identical to the report appearance
when printed on paper from ARM. Clear the report Global Setting to print
borders if ARM report tables should be printed to .RTF files as tab
separated columns.
B. Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet:
On the Print dialog, select the
desired print formatting of All, Quick, or None, and then select the
Print to Excel button. ARM then opens Excel and directly builds one
worksheet for each report in the report set. A new workbook is created
if Excel is not open; otherwise the ARM report is added to a workbook
that is currently open.
The formatting choice All includes all ARM formatting, including
borders and font colors. It can be fairly slow to create an ARM report
in Excel with All formatting, so Quick (merge cells) is the default
option.
Please note that ARM does not save the Excel workbook, so you need to
save the report from Excel. |
