Document formats allow you to publish content in various predefined documents that can appear in a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) document, an Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format, a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, or a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

The first time you publish, the options for the format or formats you choose to publish will default to the ones that are set in the Options dialog box. You can change the options each time you publish, if desired. You can also reset them back to the settings on the Options page.

Important Publishing Note: If you are using Microsoft Office 2003, you must install the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats. You can download this compatibility pack from the Microsoft Office Download Center. In addition, all Microsoft Office Products must have the latest updates and security fixes.
