==Export to XHTML, BibTeX, LaTeX, MediaWiki, Flash==
OpenOffice.org can export files to XHTML.

In addition, OOo Writer can export to BibTeX (.bib), LaTeX 2e (.tex), and (new in OOo 2.3) MediaWiki (.txt). OOo Draw and OOo Impress can export to Macromedia Flash (.swf).

To export to one of these formats, choose '''File > Export'''. On the Export dialog, specify a file name for the exported document, then select the required format in the ''File format'' list and click the Export button.

==Export to PDF==
OpenOffice.org can directly export to PDF. This industry-standard file format for file viewing is ideal for sending the file to someone else to view using Acrobat Reader or other PDF viewers.

Click the '''Export Directly as PDF''' icon [[Image:PDF-direct-icon.png]] to export the entire document using the default PDF settings. You are asked to enter the file name and location for the PDF file, but you do not get a chance to choose a page range, the image compression, or other options.

For more control over the content and quality of the resulting PDF, use '''File > Export as PDF'''. The PDF Options dialog opens. This dialog has five pages (General, Initial View, User Interface, Links, and Security). Make your selections, and then click '''Export'''. Then enter the location and file name of the PDF to be created and click '''Save''' to export the file.
