This is the standard output. We have discontinued the tabular form from ROLO. Complaints can be addressed to the management.
Comma delimited text ( Extract .csv)
With a bit of luck, this format will cause your browser to offer either to save the file or open it with Microsoft Excel. This appears to be a safe thing to do, and is probably the easiest method. It will give nasty results if any of the selected records happen to contain double quotes. If this is a problem use tab delimited text instead. With Netscape it is probably safest to save the file and open it outside the browser NBB when saving files of this type with Netscape you should put the filename in "" characters to force the .csv extension. If you forget this you will end up with OWLrecords.csv.txt, which will upset your anti virus precautions (double file extensions are dangerous) as well as confusing Excel when you try to open the file.
Tab delimited text
IE will open files of this type in notepad (or possibly WordPad). You can then save and load into any application that accepts tab delimited text. Netscape could also be asked to open this with Notepad, but its probably safest to save the file first and then open it separately.
SpreadsheetML
Under test at the moment, this will produce an XML document which can be loaded into MS Excel as a spreadsheet. The file is in conformance with MS spreadsheetML, and can be read by Office 2002 or later. This gets around the 'double quote' problem but may introduce some others. It seems to produce a corrupt file if there are accented characters in the records selected, for example. Further work is needed on this one.
Raw xml
With luck, will show the xml data with its tags. Behaviour is probably browser dependent and is not fully tested. Not meant for general consumption, but if you are an xml hacker you can save this using the browser's File>SaveAs (this should work even with browsers that do not support display of xml)
