Exporting from the XO for printing and archiving




Click the pic to make larger.

once you have the document on the USB thumb drive, you can go anywhere with it, but it would be nice if you could reproduce it easily. I suggest you Take a Tour of AbiWord: if you don't already have it on your adult machine.



I found that the best way to handle documents exported from the XO for printing, archiving, etc. was to download AbiWord

The word processor on the XO (Write) is a version of AbiWord. The documents can be saved and exported to a USB drive from the Journal. On the first try I took a picture with the XO camera and inserted it into Write and saved it as rtf. Then exported to a USB thumb drive, loaded the rtf to AbiWord that was on my HP laptop and had a document the was full available for edit. AbiWord also can save in MSWord format. i loaded that document in another open source product, Open Office, and had a MSWord compatible document that was fully available for edit. Since I am not an owner of MSWord I cannot speak for those compatablility issues, but suffice it to say that the XO Linux presents no problems with the open source products that are free.
