If you need to share documents created in StarWriter with a colleague that uses another word processor, the other word processor is not likely to read StarOffice files.
Instead, you need to export your StarOffice files in a format that can be read by another word processor. StarOffice provides several export filters from the Save As dialog box (see Figure 5.7):
As with preparing a file for import into StarOffice, the main formats to use for exporting to other word processors are as follows:
Word 95
Word 97
Word 6.0
Rich Text Format
Plaintext (several varieties)

From
the Save As dialog box, you can select one of several export file formats.
To save a StarOffice document in another format, follow these steps:
1. Choose Save As from the File menu. The Save As dialog box opens.
2. Select a format from the File type drop-down list.
3. Enter a different name for the document.
Most word processors, in fact, can determine the file format automatically and apply the correct conversion to the native format. For example, if you ../style/dot.gifdocument in WordPerfect 8 for Windows, the file imports automatically and appears on your screen.
