EXPORT Question

[John Esak]

Art,

Two things....

First, your problem is that you have quotes around the filename. Take them
away.

Export WORD ofile=myfile

I would do something more like:

 export WORD ofile=/tmp/myfile
Or
Export WORD ofile=C:\myfile

To place the exported file in a "full" pathname rather than a "relative"
one.  Just my preference.

Second, of all what do you m3an by convert the "export WORD" file to an
Excel file.  "export WORD" will export a .csv file which is immediately
readable by Excel. It doesn't have a .xls extension, but it is directl
usable by Excel.
