Refer the Release Notes for more information.[1] To tickle your curiosity, this release adds support for exporting an Org file to pdf, doc and ppt. This is accomplished by passing the odt file through an external converter [2]. The release also includes a homebrewed converter called BasicODConverter. org-odt veterans can jump to the following sections of the Release Notes for a quick start. 1. Test driving the Exporter 2. How can I export to doc or docx format? [3] Feedback and bug reports are welcome. Specifically from the users of unoconv and "[J|Py]ODConverter" Jambunathan K. Footnotes: [1] http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-jambu.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/packages/README.html [2] Well this is an understatement. You can export between all the formats recognized by the Open/LibreOffice. You can export a odt file to mediawiki and docbook for example. You can convert a csv file to xls. You can convert a html file to odt. You can also convert a odt file to odt. You may ask does that latter scenario makes sense. unoconv for example, updates indices etc etc while doing an export. So there you go. [3] http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-jambu.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/packages/README.html#converter --
