Outputting documents

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This chapter provides information on how to output documents via Write.

The chapter contains the following sections:

Print preview

The first section deals with the command File | Print preview. This displays the document on the screen exactly as it will appear on the printout, thus saving unnecessary test prints.

Printing a document

To actually print the current document on the printer, choose the command File | Print.

Printing a mail merge

Mail merges – documents that are to be sent to several addressees – can be printed with the command File | Print merge.

Exporting a document as a PDF file

You can also export a document to a PDF file by choosing the command File | PDF export.
PDF files can be viewed on virtually any computer, provided that a suitable PDF viewer is installed there. All formatting and objects of the document are retained exactly as in the original file.

Exporting a document as an EPUB file

Alternatively, you can export a document to an EPUB file by choosing the command File | EPUB export.
EPUB is an open standard for e-books (electronic books) and other electronic publications. The EPUB format can be read by most e-book readers. In addition, there are numerous viewer applications for PCs and mobile devices.

Sending a document by e-mail

Finally, documents can also be sent by e-mail. The command File | Send is responsible for this process.

Finalize document (remove personal data)

Choose the command File | Finalize if you want to remove personal data that is not intended for the public before sharing a document.
