The formatting level for export is defined at export time,
in the Save to File dialog box, or the
Export Options dialog box.
Three of the levels correspond to the formatting levels of the same name
in the Text Editor. However, the level to be applied for saving is independent
of the formatting level displayed in the Text Editor.
When exporting to file or mail, first specify a file type.
This determines which formatting levels are available.
The formatting levels are:
Plain Text
This exports plain decolumnized left-aligned text in a single
font and font size. When exporting to Text or Unicode file types, graphics
and tables are not supported. You can export plain text to nearly all
file types and target applications; in these cases graphics, tables and
bullets can be retained. A reading order changed manually in True Page
will have an effect on this formatting level.
Formatted Text
This exports decolumnized text with font and paragraph styling,
along with graphics and tables. This is available for nearly all file
types. A reading order changed manually in True Page will have an effect
on this formatting level.
This level has a special purpose when saving to Excel. Each
detected table or spreadsheet in a document is saved to a separate worksheet.
Other content is placed on the last worksheet and functions as an index.
The tables are replaced by hyperlinks to their own worksheet.
Flowing Page
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns.
This is done wherever possible with column and indent settings, not with
text boxes or frames. Text will then flow from one column to the other,
which does not happen when text boxes are used.
True Page
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns.
This is done with text, picture and table boxes and frames. This is offered
only for target applications capable of handling these. True Page formatting
is the only choice for XML export and for all PDF export, except to the
file type ‘PDF Edited’.
Spreadsheet
This exports recognition results in tabular form, suitable
for use in spreadsheet applications. Each page is placed in a separate
worksheet.
Decolumnization for Plain Text and Formatted Text export
is performed from left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
Before export, check by setting Plain Text 
or Formatted Text 
that the order is correct. If not, switch to True Page 
to change the reading order.
To export text with a vertical orientation, you must use
True Page or Flowing Page.
