1. Figure 1 From the I.C.E. File menu select "Export" and the file to extract the data from.
2. Figure 2 Choose (name) a file to save your export to. By default the file is named Exported_ICE_Contacts.txt or Exported_ICE_Items.txt or whatever depending on what you have selected to export. Be default the file will be copied into the folder that ICE was installed. You can change that by either typing or browsing to a new location.
3. Figure 3 Tag or untag the fields to export - the data you want or don't want. Note: after exporting you can open the csv file in Excel and edit the data if desired. Once you have selected the fields then hit "Start" to begin the process of exporting.

Note: it is a good idea to use the export feature to export all of your inventory into a csv file or xls file. This will make a good back up if something should happen to the items file in the ICE software. Example: the file was accidentally deleted. You can just start I.C.E. which will create a new empty items file. Then at the Import menu you can use the Import Items command to import you inventory from that csv file. When using it for a back up be sure to tag all fields to be exported.

Note: using a CSV file allows you to read that file with any text editor such as Notepad. A CSV file can be opened in Excel and saved as an Excel spreadsheet.
