You can set your preferred format for saved files in the Saving preferences of Nisus Writer Pro
as explained in “Choose the Way in Which Files Save” on page 367.
Export As…
• Microsoft Word Format (binary)
• Microsoft Office 2007 XML (Office Open XML) explained on the Microsoft Web site .
• OpenOffice.org XML (OASIS Open Document)
• a Rich Text Format (for older applications), such as AppleWorks file.
• Plain Text
Unlike saving a file as Plain Text, if you export a file as plain text, Nisus Writer Pro does not
warn you with the dialog that appears in Figure 49. Any formatting that may have been in the
file is removed.
• an HTML file.
• an EPUB file for distribution on electronic readers, as explained on the Wikipedia .
Print…
• a PostScript file as explained in “Create a PostScript file of your Nisus Writer Pro document” on
page 363. This is actually a “print” format and not a “save” format. Therefore the option does
not appear in the Save as dialog.
• a PDF (Portable Document Format) file as explained in “Create a PDF file of your Nisus Writer
Pro document” on page 363. This is actually a “print” format and not a “save” format. Therefore
the option does not appear in the Save as dialog.
If one or more of the above formats does not mean anything to you, you probably do not need it.
