# About the Format as Text Tool

The Format as Text Tool is used to create a Task Step that creates single or multiple textual documents, primarily utilising information provided by Input Tools such as the Database Query (ODBC) Tool, and requires no global settings.

The Step uses merge fields to merge data objects into the document from a source to produce dynamic documents such as alerts and notifications or data formats such as `.CSV` for spreadsheets or uploading to other systems.

These textual documents can then be delivered using many of the Output Steps such as Send Email (SMTP) as body and/or attachment, Send Text Message, Send Fax (Tobit), Transfer File (FTP), and Save File.
