# Export Text Boxes

Choosing this menu item will cause the contents of all text boxes that have been marked for export to be copied to the clipboard. Additionally, the Export Text Boxes item gives you the opportunity to save the contents of "marked for export" text boxes as a text file. Contents of text boxes will be exported in alphabetical order based on the titles you provide.

Exporting the contents of text boxes is very useful when you desire to collect, for example, a set of responses to model output from users of your model. After users have entered their responses in text boxes, you can choose Export Text Boxes to collect responses in one convenient venue.

Marking a text box for export is a straightforward operation within the dialog of the text box. For details on the Export Text check box, see the discussion on Text Blocks within Chapter 6.
