Is there a simple way to export specifications to csv format?

I tried Publish > Model Exchange > CSV > CSV Import/Export
However, the memo field, below ID in the properties, is not getting exported.

Csv export works fine for me. Just create the csv export profile to export fields you need. I often export guid, type, stereotype, name and notes fields without a problem. I have no idea what you are referring to when you say

By "memo field", are you referring to a Tagged Value in which you have put <memo> and then entered a note in the memo? If so, add a Tagged Value Field and select Notes, then enter the name of the Tagged Value.

This text:
Buttons to:
1. Start upload of existing profiles in the controller.
2. Download of a new profile to the controller.
3. Start profile.

Became:

Buttons to:
<ol>
   <li>Start upload of existing profiles in the controller. </li>
   <li>Download of a new profile to the controller.</li>
   <li>Start profile.</li>
</ol>

That's how it's stored, so that is how it exports.

If you want to make plain text out of it, you'll have to use a script. There is an API operation Repository.GetFormatFromField() that can do that for you.

Thanks.
But I gave up.
I have upgraded my software from unified to ultimate.
Now at least the export to excel works for requirements.
