Generate the "Used data connections" report
Document Composition allows you to save used data links of a text block as a CSV file.
To document the used data links of a text block, complete the following steps.
1. Open the text block.
2. On the Editor Tools tab, under Reports, click the Generate report "Used Data
Links"
button.
3. In the Save Used Data Links Report dialog box, select a file or type the name of the report file.

Note When the report is saved as a CSV file, a special character separates the cells of the CSV file from each other. To determine this character, Document Composition uses the list separator specified in the
Regional Settings section of the Windows Control Panel. We recommend not to change this setting.
