The entire Everything Report is exported as a single file that will look almost identical to way it looks in Behold.

 

After the file is exported, Behold will ask you if you want to view the file:

 

If you say yes, then for an HTML export, the file will open in your default web browser. For an RTF export, it will open in your default Rich Text Format handler (which will be Microsoft Word if you have that installed).

 

Note: Some genealogy data files can be quite large. A large file exported to HTML or RTF will also be large. Your web browser or RTF reader may have trouble reading such a large file.

Above is an example of what the list will look once you've loaded a number of files into Behold.

 

GEDCOM files end with ".ged" and Behold Organize files end with ".bho".

 

The currently active selection (which your mouse is pointing to) is highlighted, e.g. number 2 above.

 

Files that no longer exist on your computer (maybe they were deleted or moved) are greyed out and cannot be selected, e.g. numbers A and B above.\

 

Bye bye.
