Other commands:

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...

  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 (MS-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 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.

Convert to Office Open XML (MS-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.

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.
