Writer Guide

2) In your e-mail program, enter the recipient, subject, and any text
you want to add, then send the e-mail.
File > Send > E-mail as OpenDocument Text has the same effect.
If you choose E-mail as Microsoft Word, Writer first creates a .DOC
file and then opens your e-mail program with the .DOC file attached.
Similarly, if you choose E-mail as PDF, Writer 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 OOo’s mail merge facilities to
extract email addresses from an address book.
You can use OOo’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) 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) Open the document in Writer. Click Tools > Mail Merge Wizard.
On the first page of the wizard, select Use the current
document and click Next.
