This chapter provides information on how to output documents via TextMaker.
The chapter contains the following sections:
| The first section deals with the ribbon command File | Print preview. This displays the document on the screen exactly as it will appear on the printout, thus saving unnecessary test prints. |
| To actually print the current document on the printer, choose the ribbon command File | Print. |
▪Printing a mail merge (not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice)
| Mail merges – documents that are to be sent to several addressees – can be printed with the ribbon command File | Print merge. |
▪Exporting a document as a PDF file
| You can also export a document to a PDF file by choosing the ribbon 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 (not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice)
| Alternatively, you can export a document to an EPUB file by choosing the ribbon 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 (not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice)
| Finally, documents can also be sent by e-mail. The ribbon command File | Send is responsible for this process. |
