I believe the correction that may be best for your type of chromatogram would be the "BaseFit BGD" correction available in Isodat 2.5. You may need to adjust the parameters a bit to fit your type of baseline however the default tens to work pretty well.
To export data into, for example, Excel to create publishable graphs or want to use the data in another program you use the Spectrum Viewer in Isodat 2.0 or you export in the format Herbert suggested as a "*.ai" file with Isodat 2.5 which can be opened directly in Excel. If you have N & C data you have to export the data from each sheet in the Isodat file as "*.ai" and merge them in the excel file to create the full graph or two separate analysis graphs.
