Printing out Rating, doesn't convert to text, is lost

So, I'm trying to get a text list of my collection. Not seeing any export function (maybe there is one?), I'm using the Show Printable catalog feature.
I have a style set up with just the fields I want. I then press the print button and it brings up a page with my library all on one screen. This screen has no save, but I can copy/paste the whole page into a text editor.
This works well enough (although CRs in reviews are a little tricky), but the really important thing that is lost is the rating. Because it is made from graphics of stars, it is not copied and the rating is lost. (Actually the 1/2s are copied so you have a bunch of books with no rating or a 1/2 rating.)
Has anyone run into this? Is there some better way to print out your collection as text? Is there any other way to get rating that is just a number and not the star graphics?
Thanks for any help!

Why are you pasting it into a text editor instead of just printing the printable screen when it comes up?
Also if you go under More in the top chocolate-colored bar, you'll find the button for exporting your library.

If you right click the browser window there should be a print screen option. But if you want the text what you want the export which is under the More tab as Gilroy said
