Reports can be sent to any of:
• To Messages Window
• Copy to Clipboard
• To File
Each of the above is an item of the Report menu, and choosing the item will toggle it on or off. If there is a check-mark beside the item, then when a report is generated it will be sent to that destination (so it may go to multiple destinations).
If Copy to Clipboard is check-marked, then after generating the report you can simply paste into a text editor, spreadsheet program, word processor, etc. Of course, you can always have the report sent to the Messages Window, where you can look at it or edit it, then copy it from there and paste it. However, if it is too large, it may not fit in the Messages Window.
If you choose To File, you will be asked which file to send it to. If you wish to remove the check-mark from To File (so output is not sent there), choose Report → To File and when the dialog box appears, click its Cancel button. You can use the report option Report → Append to File to determine whether to overwrite an existing file, or append to it.
If it is annoying you that the Messages window keeps coming
to the foreground when sending a report to the clipboard or a file, then
un-check To Messages Window.
