In addition, OOo Writer can export to BibTeX (.bib), LaTeX 2e (.tex) and

MediaWiki (.txt). OOo Draw and OOo Impress can export to

Macromedia Flash (.swf).

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

OOo provides several ways to quickly and easily send documents as an

e-mail attachment in one of three formats: OpenDocument (OOo’s

default format), Microsoft Office formats, or PDF.

To send the current document in OpenDocument format:

1) Choose File > Send > Document as E-mail. OpenOffice.org

opens the e-mail program specified in Tools > Options >

Internet > E-mail. 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.

File > Send > E-mail as OpenDocument Text (or Spreadsheet or

Presentation) has the same effect.

If you choose E-mail as Microsoft [Word, Excel, or Powerpoint],

OOo 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, OOo 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) of 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.
