This command can also be executed from the SI Editor's Table's Right-click menu.
The Export Excel XML Spreadsheet command will export an existing Formatted Table to an Excel XML Spreadsheet.
The SI Editor allows users to copy multiple formatted table cells and paste them into other SpecsIntact tables or external applications such as Microsoft Excel and Word. This feature particularly benefits government users whose security protocols prevent direct export to third-party applications.
