When sharing documents with others, you have several options.
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 applications. TXT and RTF formats, although limited
in formatting, might be a good option for text documents. 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.
