Unfortunately, Selenium IDE cannot handle download confirmation dialogs. So it is impossible to press the OK button. But you can still test the export function by bypassing the download confirmation dialog to automatically download the file. The steps are found here.

Although in my opinion as well as this article, it is not a very good idea to automate file downloading.
