• Click File>Save Document As>Microsoft Word 97–2003 Document (to save to ODT format,
choose File>Save Document As>OpenOffice.org Writer Document) or the Save button on
the main toolbar. Click the arrow next to the Save button and choose a saving format from the list.
If there is no suitable format in the list, click Save to Other Formats…, and, in the dialog box that
opens, select the desired format.
Tip. Additional saving options are available in the Options dialog box: select Tools>Options…,
click the Save tab, and then click the RTF/DOCX/ODT tab.
The saving options on this tab are grouped into the following categories:
Retain layout
Depending on how you are planning to use your electronic document, select the best option below:
a. Exact copy
Produces a document that maintains the formatting of the original. This option is recommended for
documents with complex layouts, such as promotion booklets. Note, however, that this option limits
the ability to change the text and formatting of the output document.
b. Editable copy
Produces a document that nearly preserves the original format and text flow but allows easy editing.
c. Formatted text
Retains fonts, font sizes, and paragraphs, but does not retain the exact locations of the objects on
the page or the spacing. The resulting text will be left–aligned (right–to–left texts will be right–
aligned).
Note: Vertical texts will be changed to horizontal in this mode.
d. Plain text
Unlike the Formatted text mode, this mode does not retain formatting.
Default paper size
You can select the paper size to be used for saving in RTF, DOC, DOCX, or ODT format from the
Default paper size drop–down list.
Tip. To ensure the recognized text fits the paper size, select the Increase paper size to fit
content option. ABBYY FineReader will automatically select the most suitable paper size when
saving.
