Export File Name (Mac)

You are exporting references to a different file type.

  1. At the top of the dialog, enter a name for the exported file, and use the triangle button to allow you to browse to the appropriate folder and specify where the file should be saved.

    The Export feature creates a new file; it does not append to an existing file. If you enter the name of a file that already exists, that file will be overwritten.

  1. Text File
    The Text File export option is suitable for draft purposes or exporting references to be imported into another database.

  1. Select the "Export Selected References" option if desired. If you want to export all of the references in the current list, clear the check box.

  2. Click Save.

Open the exported file in a word processor to edit or print it. At this point, the file is just like any other text document. You can change the font, margins, line spacing, or other page layout features if necessary.

If you exported the references in HTML format, your exported reference list is ready to be posted directly to your Web site. In your Web browser, set encoding to "Unicode- UTF 8 to appropriately display extended Unicode characters.

Note: The Export command exports only text; images are not included.
