134 CHAPTER 13: IMPORTING, EXPORTING, AND PRINTING
You might want to export items when:
• Someone else needs to open the item in an application that requires a
different file format, such as JPEG for embedding the file in a Web
page.
• You want to save the file on a floppy disk.
• You want to create a self-viewing PaperPort file and send it to
someone who doesn’t have PaperPort.
The following table describes the formats for exporting items:
