Docs

  • Microsoft Word (.docx)
  • OpenDocument Format (.odt)
  • Rich Text Format (.rtf)
  • PDF Document (.pdf)
  • Plain Text Format (.txt)
  • Web Page (.html, zipped)
  • EPUB Publication (.epub)

Sheets

  • Microsoft Excel (.xlsx)

  • PDF (.pdf)
  • Web Page (.html)
  • Comma Separated Values (.csv)

Slides

  • PDF Document (.pdf)
