This list box contains a list of currently enabled export types. This is same list that appears in the Files of Type area when prompted for which file to save as after selecting File - Save As. You can add multiple entries of the same file format, each with different options set. You can also remove any formats you do not normally use.
Options
This button pops up the option dialog corresponding to the specific format entry you had selected in the option list. It will be disabled if there are no options available for the type you have selected. The following is a list of available export formats which have a corresponding Export Options dialog. For a complete list of available Export Formats, see Exporting Data.
This button pops up the File Extensions dialog which allows you to modify the file extensions associated with this import type. It will be disabled if file extension modification is unavailable for the currently selected file type.
Option Files
All of the option types that appear on the list are saved to disk in the Normal.IOP file. You can store your own sets of formats in other IOP files on your hard drive.
Save As Default
This will save all option types to the default configuration file (NORMAL.IOP).
Save As
This will prompt you for a file path and name to write the current list of option types to that IOP file. Note: the import options will be saved to the file also.
Open
This will prompt you for an IOP filename and path to replace the current list of options with the options from that file. Note: the import options will be opened also.
Merge
This will load options from an external IOP file and not overwrite any that have the same description. Only option types having a description that is not in the current option list will be added to the option list. Note: only export options will be merged. Import options will remain unchanged.
Items
Add
Allows you to create a new export specification of one of above file types with your own customized options. You can create multiple export specifications for the same file type, each with different options set.
Remove
This will permanently remove the export specification from the option list. The option will no longer appear on the Files of Type area when selecting the File - Save As menu. To recreate any options that have been removed, you'll need to click the Add button.
Shift Up and Shift Down
Allows you to organize the options so the ones used most frequently will appear at the top of the Files of Type combobox when prompted for a filename while inserting files.
