Saving an ONIX file using ONIXEDIT is done in the standard way with the functions Save and Save as on the File menu. The file which will thus be saved on your computer will be an ONIX file, valid in ONIXEDIT format (Please see Specialized Formats ). Even though this file can be sent directly to your commercial partners, it is preferable to send them only files in their preferred format. The ONIXEDIT format contains all the information elements of the entire group of specialized validation formats supported by ONIXEDIT. There is a function allowing you to export a file, in whole or in part, in a particular specialized format. Please see the section Saving a File in a Specialized Format for more information.
