Print a Report to a File

How Do I...

If you have set up the proper printer driver for your system, you can print a report or a group of reports to a file, which you can then import into another program. Once the report is printed to file, you can open the report using any word processor. To print to a file, follow these steps:

Open Sage 50 and your company.
From the Reports & Forms menu, select the Report area.

The Select a Report or Form window appears.

Select your report, then select the Print button.
Make sure the Generic/Text-Only printer is selected.
Select OK to print.

The Print dialog appears.

Select OK again.
The Print To File window appears asking for a file name.

Enter a filename for the report and select OK.

The default location of reports printed to a file is in the company data directory.

When finished, you can open the file using any word processor. Formatting may have to be reapplied.
