Export to plain text

All I want to do is export a report to plain text in a .txt file. Is
this possible? If it is... how do you do it? Thanks!I dont think it is possible. Just check the config file for a list of
supported rendering format. Infact by default some of the rendering options
are disabled. Depending on your requirements you can enable it. If .txt is
not there then you need to write custom rendering.

Thanks for your response. I don't see text as a rendering format in
the config file.
I am sure I am not the only person who has asked for this. Is there a
create your own rendering options for dummy's guide anywhere? I
normally would not export a report to a txt file but in this case it is
a requirement.

Writer' to be able to export to WORD in some situations.
have you considered PRINTING to text?
install a printer; call it a text printer or something and you print to
it.. presto-chango you can export to TXT

to CSV/excel option and then convert to txt. I have seen an article with
examples on MSDN please search for "custom rendering". You should get some
examples.
