# Exporting Original Data

You can export original data to the folder you specify as follows:
Procedure
1.
Select a DocuWorks document, then select [Manipulate Original Data] from the [Document] menu.
The [Manipulate Original Data] dialog box appears.
2.
Select an original data file from the list, then select [Export] from the [File] menu.
The [Save As] dialog box appears.
3.
Specify a destination folder and a file name, then click [Save].
The original data file is copied and saved to the specified folder.
4.
Click [Close] in the [Manipulate Original Data] dialog box.
The [Manipulate Original Data] dialog box closes.
Note

- You can also copy and export original data by selecting one or more original data files in the [Manipulate Original Data] dialog box, then drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste them to the desired destination such as the Windows Explorer. Or, you can export them by using cutting-and-pasting.
- The original data files exported to Desk are converted into DocuWorks documents. However, if you have selected [Show files other than DocuWorks files] in [View] under [DocuWorks Desk Options] in the [Preferences] dialog box, you can export original data files without converting them to DocuWorks documents by dragging-and-dropping or copying-and-pasting them while pressing the <Ctrl> key.
- The Unicode characters of the original data name are converted into the multi-byte code. The Unicode characters which cannot be converted to the multi-byte code are changed to "_".
