    @seanhodkinson Apologies for the delay in responding, I only just saw this. I agree with both suggestions from @a33ik and @Fubar

    You can also use the Metadata Document Generator in XrmToolBox, you can export a data dictionary to Word or Excel.

    Hello,

    Take a look at XrmToolbox and Metadata Browser plugin - it can export fields with Descriptions into Excel file.
