When sharing documents with others, you have several options. If the recipient
only needs to read the document, export it to a PDF file with ‘File’ ➝ ‘Export as
PDF’. PDF files can be read on any platform using a viewer like Adobe Acrobat
Reader. To share a document for editing, use one of the regular document for-
mats. 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 for-
mat, especially Microsoft formats.
OpenOffice.org is available for a number of operating systems. This makes it an
excellent tool when a group of users frequently need to share files and do not use
the same system on their computers.

Word Processing with Writer
There are two ways to create a new document. To create a document from
scratch, use ‘File’ ➝ ‘New’ ➝ ‘Text Document’. To use a standard format and pre-
defined elements for your own documents, try a wizard. Wizards are small utili-
ties that let you make some basic decisions then produce a ready-made document
from a template. For example, to create a business letter, select ‘File’ ➝ ‘Wizards’
➝ ‘Letter’. Using the wizard’s dialogs, easily create a basic document using a
standard format. A sample wizard dialog is shown in Figure 6.2 on page 113.
Enter text in the document window as desired. Use the ‘Formatting’ toolbar or
the ‘Format’ menu to adjust the appearance of the document. Use the ‘File’ menu
