Interlinear text file

This function (File > Export as > Interlinearized Text...) is very similar to ELAN’s printing system. Therefore more information can be found in the section called “Previewing the printed pages”. The main difference is that the width of the exported text depends in this case on the number of characters that fits on one line.

After selecting an appropriate layout click on Save as and choose a location and file name. These files can afterwards easily be edited with any text editor (preferably using a fixed-with font). Optionally tick the Insert tabs between annotations box if you prefer to have the white space between annotations to be filled with tabs instead of spaces (especially useful when importing a text file into Word). If Insert tabs between annotations is selected, you could also have single tab instead of multiple white spaces. To do that tick Tabs Instead of Spaces box if you prefer to have tabs instead of multiple white spaces.
