Data Request.  There you can select the Archive Format for each dataset.

I don't know if there is a way to change this *before* selecting areas.

"We are at war with them. Neither in hatred nor revenge and with no particular 
pleasure I shall kill every ___ I can until the war is over. That is my duty."

"Don't you even hate 'em?"

"What good would it do if I did? If all the many millions of people of the 
allied nations devoted an entire year exclusively to hating the ____ it 
wouldn't kill one ___ nor shorten the war one day."

<Ha, ha> "And it might give 'em all stomach ulcers."
