Exporting to other formats
LibreOffice uses the term “export” for some file operations involving a change of file type. If you
cannot find what you want under File > Save As, look under File > Export as well.
LibreOffice can export files to XHTML. In addition, Draw and Impress can export to Adobe Flash
(SWF) and a range of image formats.
To export to one of these formats, choose File > Export. On the Export dialog, specify a file name
for the exported document, then select the required format in the File format list and click the
Export button.
E-mailing documents
LibreOffice provides several ways to send documents quickly and easily as e-mail attachments in
one of three formats: OpenDocument (LibreOffice’s default format), Microsoft Office formats, or
PDF.
Note
Documents can only be sent from the LibreOffice menu if a mail profile has been set
up in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Mail Merge E-mail.
To send the current document in OpenDocument format:
1) Choose File > Send > Document as E-mail. LibreOffice opens your default e-mail
program. The document is attached.
2) In your e-mail program, enter the recipient, subject, and any text you want to add, then
send the e-mail.
