Export to Microsoft Word®, PowerPoint®, or Excel®

Saving your visual in the usual way (How?) automatically creates a .SDR file, but SmartDraw allows you to save your visual as several other popular file types, such as .PDF, .JPG, .HTML, .GIF, Microsoft Word®, Excel®, PowerPoint®, and several more.

A fast way to export to Word®, PowerPoint®, or Excel® is to use the Quick Access Toolbar, located at the top left corner of the screen, to the right of the SmartDraw Button. Simply click the button for the program of your choice.

If a document in the selected program was already open, your visual will be placed into it. If not, then a new document will be opened with your visual on the first page, spreadsheet, or slide.

You can also click on the SmartDraw Button , located in the top left corner of the screen. Position your cursor over Export, and click Word®, PowerPoint®, or Excel® in the list that appears.
