Other commands:

Paste After As

  The entries of this submenu allow to paste the plain text copied to the clipboard, typically using a third-party word processor or spreadsheet, as:

  - one or more paragraphs,

  - OR a `pre` element,

  - OR one or more list items,

  - OR an itemized list,

  - OR one or more table rows,

  - OR a table.

  The last two menu entries assume that each text line specifies a table row and that, within a text line, the contents of the table cells are separated by tab characters.

Go to Opposite Link End

  A `a` element with one of `href`, `name` or `id` attributes must be implicitly or explicitly selected. Scrolls to and selects opposite link end (if found). For example, will scroll to and select `<a name="foo">` if the command has been invoked with `<a href="#foo">` selected.

Go to Next Link

  A `a` element with a `href` attribute must be implicitly or explicitly selected. Scrolls to and selects following similar link (if found). For example, will scroll to and select next `<a href="#foo">` if the command has been invoked with `<a href="#foo">` selected.

Go to Previous Link

  A `a` element with a `href` attribute must be implicitly or explicitly selected. Scrolls to and selects preceding similar link (if found). For example, will scroll to and select previous `<a href="#foo">` if the command has been invoked with `<a href="#foo">` selected.

Preview

  Preview document being edited using the ``default viewer'' helper application. The default viewer is typically a Web browser. This helper application is specified in the Preferences dialog box, Helper Applications section, Default viewer field.

  The temporary preview file (`__PREVIEW__``document_name``.html`) is generated in the same directory as the document being edited.

### 2.1. Convert Document sub-menu

This menu is present only in XMLmind XML Editor Professional Edition.

Convert to RTF (Word 2000+)

  Converts the document being edited to RTF (Rich Text Format) using XMLmind FO Converter (see http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/). The document generated by this command can be edited and printed using Microsoft® Word 2000 and above.

Convert to WordprocessingML (Word 2003+)

  Converts the document being edited to WordprocessingML using XMLmind FO Converter. The document generated by this command can be edited and printed using Microsoft® Word 2003 and above.

Convert to Office Open XML (Word 2007+)

  Converts the document being edited to Office Open XML (`.docx` file) using XMLmind FO Converter. The document generated by this command can be edited and printed using Microsoft® Word 2007 and above.

Convert to OpenDocument (OpenOffice.org 2)

  Converts the document being edited to OpenDocument (`.odt` file) using XMLmind FO Converter. The document generated by this command can be edited and printed using OpenOffice.org 2.

Print PostScript

  Converts the document being edited to PostScript® using RenderX XEP (see http://www.renderx.com/), if its plug-in has been installed, and Apache FOP otherwise (see http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/), and then sends the generated file to the chosen printer.

Convert to PDF

  Converts the document being edited to PDF (Adobe® Portable Document Format, also known as Acrobat®) using RenderX XEP (see http://www.renderx.com/), if its plug-in has been installed, and Apache FOP otherwise (see http://xmgraphicsl.apache.org/fop/).

All the above Convert commands display the URL chooser dialog box rather than the standard file chooser dialog box. That is, you must specify the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a save file.

Note that these commands can create directories on the fly, if needed to. For example, if you specify `http://www.acme.com/docs/report43/mydoc.pdf` as the URL of the save file and if directory `report43/` does not exist, this directory will be created during command execution.
