Export it. I dont' know how you "moved" it, but choose the export option,
select what you want to export and the fields and the type of file you want to
save it as, then open it in a similar type program. I believe if you export it
as a deliminated file, say comma deliminated, you can even open it in excel.
simple text should work as well but it wouln'dt look good. good luck
