Saving to a Microsoft word Format

Often in order to interface with other offices or friends you will need to save your document in the format they can read with their system. Chose a File Type which corresponds to the document type you need. In this example the file is saved as a Microsoft Word document.

The Automatic file name extension will place the proper file extension to be read by the other program.
