The Word export gives you a document-style version of your survey results that is easy to read, edit, print, and share. Unlike Excel or CSV exports, which are more focused on data handling, the Word export presents the survey results as a written report. It combines survey information, response summaries, question-by-question results, survey settings, and even the survey structure itself in one document.

This export is useful when you want a report that can be reviewed in a familiar document format, especially for internal documentation, written reporting, editing, or sharing with people who prefer Word files over spreadsheets or presentation slides. It comes in handy when you need a survey report that can be annotated, copied into other documents, printed, or further edited before being shared.

  1. From the list of export options, select Word.
  2. The file will download to your computer.
  3. Open the file on your local computer.

 

What the Word file contains

The sample Word export is structured like a written survey report. It starts with general survey information, then shows visit and completion information, followed by the survey results question by question. After that, it includes the survey settings and an appendix showing the survey itself.

General survey information and visit details

At the beginning of the document, the export shows general information such as the survey name, author, language, and survey URL. It also includes visit history, survey visits, total completed, total unfinished, displayed-only count, overall completion rate, visit sources, and average time of completion.

This part is useful because it gives context before you review the results. It helps you understand how the survey performed at a high level, where visits came from, and how long respondents usually needed to complete it.

Results section

The main part of the document is the Results section. Here, each question is listed in order, together with its question type, number of answers, unanswered count, and the relevant result format.

This makes the Word export useful when you want the results in a readable report format without losing the structure of the survey.

Survey settings and appendix

One thing that makes the Word export especially useful is that it includes more than just the results. In the sample file, there is also a Survey settings section that shows settings such as questions per page, whether multiple submissions are allowed, whether users can return to previous questions, whether question numbers are displayed, whether question order is randomized, whether login is required, whether answers are anonymous, whether results are shown to respondents, and whether a thank-you page is shown.

After that, the file includes an Appendix: Survey section, which shows the survey questions themselves and their answer options or field types. This is very useful because it allows you to see not only the results, but also the original questionnaire structure in the same file.

This can be especially helpful when you want to document both the survey design and the survey outcome together in one report.

 

What to pay attention to

When reviewing the Word export, pay attention to the fact that it is more document-oriented than data-oriented. It is designed to make the survey easy to read and easy to edit, not to provide coded raw data or multi-sheet analysis.

The Results section is the main part for interpreting responses, while the Survey settings and Appendix sections are especially useful for documentation and audit purposes. This means the Word export is often a good choice when you need both the survey results and the survey structure in one place.

Also note that the file includes written lists and tables rather than slide-style visuals or raw datasets. That makes it easier to edit and reuse in other written reports, proposals, or research documentation.

Overall, the Word export is best when you want a survey report in a format that is familiar, editable, and suitable for written communication.
