## How to export, import, and print

- To export, right-click any category, subscription, or newsfeed item in RSS Favorites and choose Export>To OPML file. A Save As dialog appears. Choose a local drive or network location, modify the name of the file (optional), and click Save. A confirmation message appears if the export was successful.
- To import, right-click any category, subscription, or newsfeed item in RSS Favorites and choose Import>From OPML file. An Open dialog appears. Choose any OPML file from your local drive or network. A confirmation message appears if the import was successful, and all category and newsfeed data contained in the imported file is now available in your Favorites.

#### Generating PDF, RTF, and HTML files

- RSSOwl lets you export individual or collective newsfeed data to three standard cross-platform file formats. Though the exported files cannot be imported back into RSSOwl, they can be saved, shared, emailed, or added to a Web site, as you would with any file of these types. To export data for a currently selected category, subscription, or newsfeed, right-click the item and choose Generate [file type] from the popup menu, or choose Generate [file type] from RSSOwl's File menu. You can also generate files for individual items from newsfeeds in the Newsheader pane (right-click an item, choose Generate[file type]).

#### Exporting and importing subscriptions

- Subscription import and export details are covered in a separate topic, "How to create and share newsfeeds."

#### Printing news descriptions

- To print the text of the current article description as it appears in the News pane—including its headline and URL—choose Print Newstext from the File menu (hotkey Ctrl+P). If the News pane is not in browser mode, you can also print the pane by right-clicking on the description and choosing Print News from the popup menu.
  Note: Printing is not yet supported on Linux.
