Export documents

You can export your documents to make them accessible in different applications. This can be particularly useful when you want to send a CaseView document to a client who does not have Working Papers.

Supported export types include:

Export to a web page

Export your document to a web page to enable it to display in any web browser. You can export the CaseView document as either .html or .htm file types.

Notes:

  • If you are exporting a document that relies on tabs for alignment, the output may not align properly. Web page documents cannot interpret tabs as space holders in a document. To resolve this, either remove all tabs to align the text, or place text within tables to handle any alignment issues you may have.
  • Related tables that are adjacent to each other will automatically merge in the output to ensure they maintain consistent column widths.

To export to a web page:

  1. On the ribbon, click File | Export | to HTML.
  2. In the Save As dialog, enter a name for the file, then browse to the location where you want to save it. Click Save.
  3. In the Publish HTML Document dialog, select any applicable options.

    Option Description
    Tables size to fit available space Select to resize tables in the document to fit within the space available.
    Include External Documents Select to include external documents as links in the web page.

    Click Finish.
