Select the file you want to replace with the saved file from the Files list.
Choose one of the available file formats:
- EW Document
  The native EW Notator file format. You need EW Notator to open, display and edit these files.
- EMF Graphic (Enhanced Metafile Format)
  Widely used graphic file format you can import into many external applications (e.g. Microsoft Word). The graphic image retains its quality both on screen and printer.
  Note: If you want to export these files to other computers, you must ensure that either EW Notator or at least an EW Notator symbol font (e.g. EW Sans Serif) is installed on that machine.
- WMF Graphic (Windows Metafile Format)
  Like EMF Graphic, but with some limitations in certain circumstances. Use EMF whenever possible.
- Bitmap Graphic
  Use bitmap graphics to export images of EW Notator scores to other computers or applications that cannot interpret EMF or WMF files correctly.
  However, you must specify the resolution of the target device (e.g. 72 or 96 dpi for screen and 300dpi or higher for printers) to get high quality results.
- JPEG Image
  JPEG images are similar to bitmap graphics, but they are compressed and produce much smaller files. JPEG Images may be used to place an EW Notator score on a web page.
Choose OK.
