Getting Started Guide

Exporting to other formats
OOo uses the term “export” for some file operations involving a change
of file type. If you cannot find what you want under Save As, look
under Export as well.
OpenOffice.org 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.
