Output Formats
There are five output formats you can choose from. There is a close relationship between the processing modes (based on document types) and the output formats.
To select an output format, use the Options menu or the drop-down list of the Output tool. The delivery default output format is Microsoft Word. The icon shows the current target. On program restart it shows the last-used target.
If you select an output format which is not supported by the selected processing mode, the program automatically changes the processing mode to keep it synchronized with the selected output format.
The Output tool may one of the following appearances on the toolbar, depending on the last selected target:

Note
Most of the Output Options panel controls are the same for all four output formats, and the setting values apply to all targets – unlike the processing mode settings that are stored separately for each mode.
Although PDF Convert no longer supports running on Windows XP and no longer integrates with Office 2003 products, it can create results in the older file types doc and xls. To achieve this, deselect the checkmark Generate Office 2007/2010 output. All PowerPoint output is to the pptx file type, and the choice does not appear for WordPerfect and RTF output.
