^{Export text}

Although you cannot export directly from Microsoft Publisher, you can cut and paste all or part of the text in a publication to another Windows-based program.

Cut and paste all or part of the text of a publication to a Windows-based program

1. Select the text.
2. Right-click the selected text, and then click Cut.
3. Open the program and file that you want to export to.
4. Click where you want the text to appear.
5. On the  Edit menu of the program, click Paste.

Tip

If you want to use more than one section of the text in a publication, use the Office Clipboard.

Cut and paste all the text to a non-Windows-based program

To copy and paste to a non-Windows-based program, you must first save the file in another format.

1. On the File menu, click Save As.
2. In the File name box, type a name for the text.
3. In the Save as type box, click the file format used by the other program.

   If you don't know the format, click either Rich Text Format (RTF) or Plain Text (ASCII text).

4. Click Save.
5. Open the program where you want to add the text.
6. Add the text you've saved by using the Insert Text, Import Text, Insert File, or Open command of the program.
