Export a topic as Word doc

Export a topic as Word doc.

Our documentation server does not have Word on it. Just Flare, a couple of text editors and some search tools.

A co-worker needed to update an old Word document, and wanted to include a table that we have in our current Flare projects.

"How to enable the import/output process without word installed
1.Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:Ribbon Select File>Options.
Menu Select Tools>Options.

The Options dialog opens.

2.Select the General tab.
3.Select Import/Export Word Files Without MS Office.
4.Click OK.
==================== end =====================

I'm sure I'll face-palm the moment I hit "Submit", but for the moment I'm stymied at step 1.
In Flare 10, under the File item in the ribbon, I get
- New Project
- New
- Open
- Save
- Print
- Send to Backups
- Properties
- Source Control
- SharePoint
- Close

OK, I must be overlooking the obvious, but I can't figure out which of those items, in the dropdown under "File", is supposed to be "Options".

This has stymied me in the past as well. Look farther down the menu and to its right-most side -- you'll see a little cog icon and the Options label (next to Exit).

Ah.

I knew there was a reason I preferred the Menu bar...

In Content Explorer, I always have "Show Files" set.... so, two columns. And then I stretch the Flare VM window between two screens, with the split between the Content file tree on the left screen, and the file list on the right.
Guess which drop-down menu also gets split.

At the office, my dual monitors are identical Dells, so everything lines up from left to right.
But I'm at home, where one is a nice Dell, and the other a semi-crappy Samsung, with different resolutions, so the split puts everything on either side of the bezels misaligned by an inch and a bit. Never even connected the lower right corner of that drop-down with an "Options" tab.
You see what you expect to see, I guess. Or not...

Thanks.


Time for bed.
