Exporting interviews to RTF (e.g. to Microsoft Word) (AskiaTools)

Use this feature to export interviews from a QES file to RTF format (suitable for opening in Microsoft Word, and numerous other programs).

Note: you can specify which items are exported to Word, and their appearance (fonts, colours etc.). To do so, select options... in the tools menu. For a description of these options see export to Word options.

To export an XML questionnaire:

In the file menu, select export, then interviews to Word.... The word export dialog appears:
Next to RTF file, click ..., and specify a name and location for the new file.
Set the other options, as described below.
Click OK to proceed.
If you opted to export a selection of questions (rather than all questions), you are now presented with a list of the questions in your QES:
Copy the questions you want to export to the right-hand list, by using the following buttons:
Copies the selected question to the right-hand list;
Copies all questions to the right-hand list;
Removes the selected question from the right-hand list;
Removes all questions from the right-hand list.
Once you are satisfied with the questions you have in the right-hand list, click OK. Your interviews are exported to one or more RTF files.

The available options are:

Interviews to Word export options

Option	Description
RTF file	Type the path and filename of the output file (to which the data will be written), or click `...` and specify the path and filename in the file dialog.
Create one file interview	If this option is selected, AskiaTools will create a separate RTF file for each interview. Otherwise, all interviews will be written to a single RTF file.
Export as a table	If this option is selected, AskiaTools exports each interview into Word table, with question labels in the left-hand column and response labels (of the selected responses) in the right-hand column. If this option is not selected, responses are presented as lists of checkboxes, or write-in boxes, beneath the question label.
Questions	Determines what label is exported for each question (long caption, short caption, shortcut, or shortcut and long caption).
Responses	Determines what label is exported for each response (caption, caption and entry code, entry code). This option is available only if export as a table is selected.
Export questions: All the questions/A Selection of Questions	Select which questions you wish to export: all questions, or a selection of specific questions (you will be able to specify these questions later in the export process).
System question	Select the system questions you want to export (interview start, interview end, call count, seed or IP address). These are exported at the start of each record.
Export completes only	Select this option if you want to export completed interviews only.
Interview started after	Allows you to export interviews that were begun after the specified date. You can, therefore, use this feature to export new data that has been collected since a previous export.
Additional filter	Allows you to specify a custom data filter by defining an askiascript condition. Click `...` to open a secondary dialog where you can define your condition.
