In the preceding section we looked at importing data into Project and in this section we're going to do the opposite. We're going to export data from Project. I'm primarily concerned here with exporting data so that it can be used as data in another application. But I will briefly touch on a couple of cases where we are exporting data in a form where it can't be manipulated, such as in the form of an image. Let's start with what is probably the most utilitarian of all the ways and that is copy and paste. Now the extent to which copy and paste is effective depends on what you are pasting the data into. Let's start with Microsoft Word and what I'm going to do is to copy a part of a plan into a Word document. So I'm using version 17 of the website project. I've made a selection within the table there and I'm just going to copy that to the clipboard using the Copy command on the ribbon. Now I'm going to switch back into Word and do a Paste. And you can see the pasted detail from the plan. Now in doing this what Word has done is to do a reasonably good job of representing not only the style of this part of the table but also things like the indentation of the text to reflect the structure of the project, the formatting of the individual lines, bold text, etcetera, and the alignment of the text within the columns Duration, Start, Finish, etcetera. So because Word is pretty good at that sort of thing it makes a pretty good job of it. Now let me do the same thing into Notepad. So I'm starting a new Notepad document. I'm going to do a Paste here as well. Now when I paste into Notepad I still get the data but I've lost a lot of the structure. I've lost things like the bolding of the text and of course I've lost the alignment as well. Now it may be that I'm using Notepad to create a text file in order to interchange this data with another system. Text files, CSV files, etcetera often use for interchange. But it's important to understand that when you do that you do lose a certain amount of the information from the source and in particular you will almost always lose things like styling information and every often alignment, etcetera. However in this particular case the presence of the tab characters that you can't currently see does mean that it should be possible to successfully import this data into another application. So let me close Notepad for the moment and I'm going to undo the Paste into Word and I'm going to do the Paste into Word differently. Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
