File Selection

You need to tell Readerware the name of the file you wish to create and where it should be located. You can either enter this in the file name field or click on the Browse button and select the file from the file selection dialog.

If you check the Always replace existing file check box Readerware will automatically overwrite this file if it exists. This is useful if you are doing regular export runs to the same file. If this is not checked, Readerware will display a confirmation dialog before overwriting an existing file.
