== E-mailing Writer Documents ==
AOO provides several ways to quickly and easily send a Writer document as an e-mail attachment in one of three formats: .ODT (OpenDocument Text, Writer’s default format), .DOC (Microsoft Word format), or PDF. These options are available if you have an email program installed on your computer. If you only use an internet service accessed through a browser, you must go to that service and simply attached your saved document to a message.

To send the current document in .ODT format:
# Choose {{menu|File|Send|Document as E-mail}}. Writer opens your default e-mail program. The document is attached.
# In your e-mail program, enter the recipient, subject, and any text you want to add, then send the e-mail.

{{menu|File|Send|E-mail as OpenDocument Text}} has the same effect.

If you choose '''E-mail as Microsoft Word''', Writer first creates a .DOC file and then opens your e-mail program with the .DOC file attached. Similarly, if you select '''E-mail as PDF''', Writer first creates a PDF using your default PDF settings (as when using the '''Export Directly as PDF''' toolbar button) and then opens your email program with the .PDF file attached.
