Yes, you can use the Import/Export Assistant to export your contact logs. For more information about exporting, see this topic.

There's a known issue in AccountRight which prevents the text wrapping in the contact log report. This means the contact log entry is on one line across the report and can't be viewed. Our experts are working to fix this in a future update.

Until this is fixed you can either:

• Update the contact log entry to add carriage returns (press Enter) to break up the contact log text onto separate lines.
• Export the contact log report to Excel and adjust the columns accordingly (display the report then go to the File menu (or click the blue down arrow) and choose Export > Excel).
