programs such as Adobe Illustrator 9 and later. This is described in detail in the next
section.
Exporting to a Word document

Select "FILE" > "EXPORT" and then choose the MICROSOFT WORD (.DOCX) option from the
drop-down menu.

iOS devices.

Exporting as Flash
You can export a drawing to Adobe's SWF Flash format (static). This is best suited to
vector designs, and can provide very small file sizes. You can then use the SWF in a
website, or import it into Flash for use in Flash animations.
You can also create animated Flash. See Flash Animations (on page 537) for more
details on Flash export.
