Hi

We have a workaround to save labels in excel. We using the alpha object to temporarily storing labelinformation from different series object (via .@description, .@source, etc.). Thereafter we are able to save the alpha object (via pagesave) to excel. Unfortunately seems the alpha object only be able to store 80 characters, why the label cuts off sometimes. Is it possible to increase the number of characters in the alpha-object?

Or even better, is there any more straight forward method to export labels to excel?

Regards Johan

There's an option to set the number of characters in an Alpha series. Options->General Options->Series and Alphas->Alpha Truncation.

If you're using EV8 x64, you can happily bump that up to 10,000, say.

Also, you may be better off freezing the details view of the workfile into a table, and then saving the table to disk, rather than going through alpha objects.

Ok, thanks for the tip
