Save Actions as Text Files

You can save actions as a text file to examine the steps involved or to print. In the actions palette, highlight the Action set you want to save, then hold down Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Command+Option (Mac) while selecting Save Actions from the actions palette menu. You will get a text file containing all the commands and settings contained in the action set. Note that the text file cannot be converted back to an action so it is not suitable for transferring or backing up actions.
