Operation Manual

File > Send > E-mail as OpenDocument (Text, Spreadsheet, or Presentation) has the same
effect.
If you choose E-mail as Microsoft [Word, Excel, or Powerpoint], LibreOffice first creates a file in
one of those formats and then opens your e-mail program with the file attached.
Similarly, if you choose E-mail as PDF, LibreOffice first creates a PDF using your default PDF
settings (as when using the Export Directly as PDF toolbar button) and then opens your email
program with the PDF file attached.
E-mailing a document to several recipients
To e-mail a document to several recipients, you can use the features in your e-mail program or you
can use LibreOffice’s mail merge facilities to extract email addresses from an address book.
You can use LibreOffice’s mail merge to send e-mail in two ways:
• Use the Mail Merge Wizard to create the document and send it. See Chapter 11, Using Mail
Merge, in the Writer Guide for details.
• Create the document in Writer without using the Wizard, then use the Wizard to send it.
This method is described here.
To use the Mail Merge Wizard to send a previously-created Writer document:
1) Click Tools > Mail Merge Wizard. On the first page of the wizard, select Use the current
document and click Next.
