You can choose from several different display formats when you display a report on the screen. Some display formats are best suited for particular kinds of uses. For example, you can chose to display the report as:

• An HTML page, which is optimized for display in a Web browser.
• A PDF document, which is useful when you want the report to look the same whether displayed on a screen or printed.
• A DHTML file, which is HTML output that has most of the features normally associated with output formatted for printing such as PDF or PostScript output.
• An Excel 2000 spreadsheet, where you can work with the data in Excel.

You can learn which display formats are available in Report Display Formats.

If you wish to send a report to a file instead of to the screen, you can learn about the file formats that are available in Saving and Reusing Your Report Output.
