Saving in DOCX/ODT/RTF

To save your text in DOCX/DOC/RTF/ODT:

 Click the arrow next to the Save button on the main toolbar and then click the desired

format. If the format that you need is not displayed in the list, click Save in Other

Formats… and then select the desired format from the Save as type drop–down list.

Alternatively, on the File menu, click Save Document As and then click the desired

saving format.

Tip: Additional saving options are available in the Options dialog box: click 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:

Document layout

Depending on how you are planning to use your electronic document, select one of the following

options:

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 line 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

This mode does not retain formatting. Font styles will be preserved if the Keep bold,

italic, and underlined text styles in plain text option is enabled.

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.

Text settings

 Keep line breaks and hyphens

Retains the original arrangement of text lines in the output text.

 Keep page breaks

Retains the original page arrangement.
