Ampler saves or emails part of a Word document — as a Word file or a PDF — so you send the relevant pages without splitting the document by hand.
Quick answer: Click Save As (Ctrl+Shift+S) or Email (Ctrl+Shift+X) on the Ampler ribbon, choose the format, name the file, and click Save As, Send, or press Enter.
How to use it
Choose Word or PDF, then save or email the pages.
- Click Save As (Ctrl+Shift+S) or Email (Ctrl+Shift+X) on the Ampler ribbon.
- Choose the format — a Word document or a PDF — and the file name.
- Click Save As, Send, or press Enter.
Sending as a PDF fixes the layout so the recipient sees the document exactly as you do.
Keyboard shortcut
Save As is Ctrl+Shift+S and Email is Ctrl+Shift+X by default; both can be reassigned in the Ampler Settings → Shortcuts.
Why use it
Sending a section of a document normally means saving a copy, deleting the rest, and exporting. Ampler saves or emails the document as a Word file or PDF directly — and can send it without leaving Word.
How consultants use it
A report often goes out as a fixed-layout PDF, and sometimes only a section is shared. Controlling the format and the send is part of a clean deliverable. Three habits apply:
- PDF for the deliverable: a read-only PDF fixes the layout so it can’t reflow on the recipient’s machine.
- Send from the document: save or email without a separate export step.
- Clean before external send: pair with Clean so metadata doesn’t travel with the file.
Save or email keeps distribution controlled and in-place.
Tips & best practices
- Use PDF for external recipients so the layout is fixed.
- Update fields first so the sent document is current.
- Clean the document before sending sensitive files externally.
