The formatting levels are:
Plain Text
This exports plain decolumnized left-aligned text in a
single font and font size. When exporting to Text or
Unicode file types, graphics and tables are not supported.
You can export plain text to nearly all file types and target applications; in
these cases graphics, tables and bullets can be retained.
Formatted Text
This exports decolumnized text with font and paragraph
styling, along with graphics and tables. This is available for
nearly all file types.
Flowing Page
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including
columns. This is done wherever possible with column and
indent settings, not with text boxes or frames. Text will
then flow from one column to the other, which does not happen when
text boxes are used.
True Page
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including
columns. This is done with text, picture and table boxes
and frames. This is offered only for target applications
capable of handling these. True Page formatting is the only choice for
XML export and for all PDF export, except to the file type 'PDF Edited'.
Spreadsheet
This exports recognition results in tabular form, suitable
for use in spreadsheet applications. This places each
document page onto a separate worksheet.
When exporting to Microsoft Excel, 'Spreadsheet' is good for saving
whole-page tables. Prefer 'Formatted Text' if your document contains
smaller tables: each table will be placed on a separate worksheet with non-
table parts placed in an index worksheet with hyperlinks to each relevant
worksheet
