Emailing Documents

OpenOffice provides several options for quickly and easily sending documents as e-mail attachments in one of three formats: OpenDocument (OpenOffice’s default format), Microsoft Office formats, or PDF.

Documents can only be sent from the OpenOffice menu if a mail profile has been set up and if your computer has an email program. If you use a web-based email application, you must attach the Draw document manually to a message.

To send the current document in OpenDocument format:

1. Choose File → Send → Document as E-mail. OpenOffice opens your default e-mail program. The document is attached.
2. In your e-mail program, enter the recipient, subject, and any text you want to add, then send the e-mail.

If you choose E-mail as PDF, OpenOffice 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.

You can email a document to several recipients. For details, see Chapter 9 (Printing, Exporting, Emailing) in the Getting Started book.
