Will there ever be other formats that can be saved in OF?
Since I've never heard of "OF", how can I know? Oh, and there can be
no telling what might "ever" happen.
I cannot see any reason why one might want to save a text or
spreadsheet document, for example, in a graphic format. What do you
think you could do with a result in such a format that you could not
do with the original text or spreadsheet document? But you might want
to save a drawing (Draw) document (or part of one) in a graphic
format, and you can do that from OpenOffice right now: no waiting for "ever"!
o To save a single page of a drawing, use File | Export... and choose
your required format for "Save as type". Note that the Selection
option in the Export dialogue enables you to export just selected object(s).
o Alternatively, you can use Convert | Modify > | To Bitmap or
Convert | Modify > | To Metafile (or either via right-click |
Convert >). Then you can use right-click | Save as Picture... to save
the result in a graphic format.
Note that in either case you can previously select multiple items to
group them if necessary. And you could paste material from a text
(Writer) or spreadsheet (Calc) document into a drawing if desired.
All this is described under "Exporting graphics" in Chapter 6,
"Editing Pictures (Raster Graphics)", of the Draw Guide.
I trust this helps.
