19. Saving in Different File Formats • To save a file so that it can be used with an earlier version of Word, save it as a “Word 97-2003 Document”. • To save a file in a format that can be opened in the widest variety of programs, use one of the following- • Rich Text Format (*.rtf) This preserves the document’s formatting. • Plain Text (*.txt) This preserves only the text.

20. PDF and XPS • If you want people to be able to view a document, but not change it, you can save the document in one of two formats: • PDF (*.pdf) This format is preferred by commercial printing facilities. You should also use this format if you know that recipients have a PDF reader, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, installed on their computer. • XPS (*.xps) This format precisely renders all fonts, images, and colors on recipients’ computers.

21. PDF and XPS, cont. • Both are designed to deliver documents that are electronic representations of how they will look when printed. • Text and graphics are static and not easily edited so these formats are ideal for legal documents. • The files are no longer Word documents so they can’t be edited in Word.

22. Creating and Editing Web Documents • Anyone can easily create a Web page in Word 2010. • View the page in Web Layout view and make necessary changes  Save the file as a Web page. • Word will insert HTML code (tags) so that web browsers will know how to format your document.

23. Creating and Editing Web Documents • You can save a document as a Web page in any of three formats: • Web Page This format saves the Web page as a .htm file with a folder of supporting files that ensure the page is rendered exactly as you want it. • Single File Web Page This format embeds all the information necessary to render the Web page in one file. • Web Page, Filtered This format removes any Office-specific tags from the file and significantly reduces the size of the Web document and its accompanying folder of supporting files. However, it can also radically change the look of the document.

24. Creating and Publishing Blog Posts • A blog consists of posts that can include text, images, and links to related blogs, Web pages, and other media. • Blogs used to be personal Web sites—online spaces where individuals expressed their opinions about anything and everything.
