report's layout. Text format assumes that a font of a constant dimension is
used throughout the export. The Characters Per Inch (CPI) option specifies
the number of characters that can be fit in a linear inch of horizontal space,
and thus determines the dimension of the font.

This format also provides an option for pagination. If you select this option,
a page break is inserted in the output after every specified number of lines.
Page breaks in this format may not correspond to the pagination of your
report.

XML Legacy

XML is used primarily for data exchange. It is a record-based format that
uses the Crystal XML Schema.

Destination

The destination determines the export location of your report. Crystal Report
enables you to choose one of six destinations. They include:

Application

Disk file

Exchange Folder

Lotus Domino

Lotus Domino Mail

MAPI

Exporting to an application

If you export to an application, the program exports the report to a temporary
file in the specified format and then opens the file in the appropriate
application.

Note:

When exporting to an application, the output opens with the program that
is associated with its file extension as specified on the File Types tab of
your operating system's Folder Options.
