You also have the option to save and export it in various other file formats detailed below.

This is the default format for saving your Test Data. Saving your files in this format will allow you to re-load the file back into SimplyPats at a later date.
Comma Separated Value CSV (.csv)
You can export your data as a .CSV file. Saving in this format will allow you to open the file in most Spread Sheet programs, such as Microsoft Excel.
Microsoft Access (.mdb)
You can export your data as a Microsoft Access
.mdb file. Saving in this format will allow you to open the file
in Microsoft Access. The File is Saved in Access 97 format. Should
you have a later version of Office installed on your computer,
the file will be readable but may prompt you to convert it to
the Version of Microsoft Office you have installed.

Drag And Drop To Other Programs
Dragging and Dropping appliance information from SimplyPats into
other programs. This is something known as OLE (Object Linking
and Embedding) and simply means that if more than one program
is OLE enabled, you can drag and drop data from one program into
another. In SimplyPats, if you select a range of tests you can
drag those into an open Microsoft Word (tm) Document, Excel (tm)
Spreadsheet or any other OLE enabled program.

from the current file) by selecting the "Tools Menu"
