MicroTest Pro allows you to export questions if you wish to access your test questions using software other than the MicroTest Pro program. When you select questions to export, they will be copied into a text file; your question bank will not be modified unless you choose to import the text file into MicroTest Pro after making changes. Graphics, special fonts and style settings will not translate to a text format export file. The RTF export format does support graphics and special font and style settings.

1. From the File menu, choose Open Test to select the test file that contains the questions you would like to export.
   The Select a Test to Open dialog displays.
2. Double-click on a test file name to open it or use your mouse to highlight the file name and click OK.
3. From the File menu, choose Write Test to Disk.
   NOTE: You must have a TEST file with selected questions open (not only the question bank file) in order to select the Write Test to Disk option.
4. In the Name the Test to Disk File dialog, click inside the File Name text box, enter a file name, choose a location for your export file, and then click OK.
5. In the Write Test to Disk dialog, choose from the following options:
   Write Sequence:
   Random - Click on this radio button to export your test questions in random order.
   Chapter, Question Order - Click on this radio button to export your test questions in the order in which they appear in your question bank.
   As Selected - Click on this radio button to export your test questions in the order in which they were selected for the test.
   Include Answer Key?
   If you would like an answer key to export with your test questions, click the Yes radio button. If you do not want an answer key included in your export file, click the No radio button.
   Format:
   As Is - Click on this radio button to export your question text exactly as it was entered in your question bank. All multiple choice and matching questions will be listed vertically in the export file.
   With Tabs And Returns - Click on this radio button to export your question text with hard carriage returns at the end of each line and with tabs placed before the following line for proper indentation.
   MicroTest Import Format - Click on this radio button to export your question text with the headers required to import the file back into MicroTest Pro after making changes. If this option is selected, the other options in the Write Test to Disk dialog will be disabled.
   RTF Format - Click on this radio button to export your question text in a Rich Text Format. Page headers, section headers, page numbers, and graphics are included in the RTF file. The file can be opened in any program that supports RTF import.
6. From the Write Test to Disk dialog, click Save.
7. Exit the MicroTest Pro program and open the application you will use to view the export file.
8. Search for the location and file name specified in step four in order to access the export file.

OPTIONAL: If you are importing the exported file into MicroTest Pro after making changes, you must save the document as a text file.

IMPORTANT: If you choose to import an exported test file, MicroTest Pro will write over the existing questions in your question bank during the import process, replacing them with any changes you have made to the text file. This process will also delete any graphics, special fonts or style settings. We recommend that you create a backup of your question bank file before doing such an import.
