When you export a document, you save a version of it in a format that works with other programs, such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Write.

When you're ready to export a document, click the Export button under the File menu option on the top menu (1). That opens a menu from which you choose the type of file you want to export. Supported file type include PDF, PPT, ODP and several other formats.

Once you have made your selection, your computer asks you where you want to save the file; you can open it using the appropriate program or save it to your computer's hard drive.

Please note that only the author of a document or an authorized user with clone rights can export to to other document types - this ensures that people with whom you have shared the document cannot bypass permissions that you have specified.
