If the recipient needs to be able to edit the file
Save the document in the format the other user needs. For example, to save as a
Microsoft Word file, click File > Save As, then select the Microsoft Word file type
for the version of Word the other user needs.
If the recipient only needs to read the document
Export the document to a PDF file with File > Export as PDF. PDF files can be
read on any platform using a viewer like Adobe Acrobat Reader.
If you want to share a document for editing
Use one of the standard document formats. The default formats comply with the
OASIS standard XML format, making them compatible with a number of applica-
tions. TXT and RTF formats, although limited in formatting, might be a good option
for text documents. Comma Separated Value (CSV) is useful for spreadsheets.
OpenOffice.org might also offer your recipient's preferred format, especially
Microsoft formats.
If you want to e-mail a document as a PDF
Click File > Send > E-mail as PDF. Your default e-mail program opens with the
file attached.
If you want to e-mail a document to a Microsoft Word user
Click File > Send > E-mail as Microsoft Word. Your default e-mail program opens
with the file attached.
Send a document as the body of an e-mail
Click File > Send > Document as E-mail. Your default e-mail program opens with
the contents of the document as the e-mail body.
