To export to PDF or Word

From the Tools menu in the upper-right, select a format:
- Export to Word to export the current page to Word format
- Export to PDF to export the current page or a set of pages to PDF
If exporting to PDF, select what you want to export:

  - Simple to export a PDF with no cover, table of contents, or index
    By default, the Simple template exports only the current page.
  - Standard to export a traditional PDF with a cover, table of contents, and index
    By default, the Standard template exports the current page and its child pages.
  Example
  In this example, selecting This page and its children creates a PDF of all topics in the space's "Reference" section:
- In the Export Scope box, select what you want to export:
  - Only this page to export the current page
  - This page and its children to export an entire section (current page and any child topics)
