Hi Richie,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project newsgroup
I've just written my next article on this subject, which should be available
in the next week or so. If you can't wait, try File/Save As... and select
the File Type as an Excel Workbook. In the wizard select a New Map and
enter the fields you want to export. When finished, open the file in Excel.
There shouldn't be much in the way of formatting, though this depends on the
data and what you want to do with it.
You might like to have a look at my series on Microsoft Project in the
TechTrax ezine, particularly #34 when it's published, at this site:

Thanks.)
