1.    From the Software menu, select Classified Advertising | Production | Production Extraction.  A window entitled Production Extraction will appear.

2.    Click on the Search icon adjacent to the Publication field, under the Editions heading, and select the publication(s) you wish to publish.

3.    Ensure that the All box adjacent to the Section field is checked.

4.    In the Publication Date field, enter the issue date you wish to publish, or select this date by clicking on the Calendar icon.

5.    Ensure that the All box adjacent to the Directory field is checked.

6.    A highlighted entry should automatically appear under the Pub | Date | Platform | Software columns.  Under the Selected Edition heading, the entry in Date field should match that entered in the Publication Date field. 

7.    Ensure that the Output File field displays the folder specific to your location (e.g. N:\Ad Imports\CP\ACCPH-CPH-20080507-CG01.afp for the 05/07/08 issue of the Southeast Missourian).

8.    If an issue has multiple extraction files (e.g. Sunday SEM), uncheck the All box adjacent to the Directory field, click on the Search icon, and select a directory.  Then, modify the name of the output file.  For example, if the extraction is for auto ads in the Sunday SEM, add “-AUTO” after the “ACCPH-CPH”.  If the extraction is for real estate, add “-REAL”.  For everything else, add “-OTHER”.

9.    Ensure that the All option is checked under the Classifications heading.  Do not make any changes to the options under the Options heading.
