If necessary, the listed reports can be sorted before being exported to MS Word (simply select an item in the list and press [Delete] to remove it, [Ctrl][^] to move it up or [Ctrl][v] to move it down).
When the items displayed in the list corresponds to the reports you want to export, click on the [Export] button to activate MS Word and transfer the data in a blank document.
The [Help] button allows displaying this online help page (Internet access necessary).
The [Exit] button allows cancelling the operation.
Outputs:
The listed reports are pasted in a new MS Word document.
