The next dialog asks you to choose an Excel file.

Next you can decide what you want to export. You can export classes, properties and symbol properties at once.

If you select "Export All", then all classes and/or properties and/or symbol properties are exported.

When you click on the PET Export Import 61 button you can create a new Excel file or overwrite an existing one.

Next we just select "Symbols" and uncheck the other two options.
