+<p><strong>Exporting alignments as graphics and lineart<a name="export"></a></strong></p>
+<p>The alignment view can be printed using
+<strong>File→Print</strong>, or exported in a number of ways via the
+<strong>File→Export</strong> menu:
+<ul>
+<li>HTML<br><em>for viewing in a web browser</em>
+</li>
+<li>PNG - a Portable Networks Graphics image<br><em>For low quality
+diagrams and powerpoint presentations</em>
+</li>
+<li>EPS - an Encapsulated Postscript Document<br><em>For high quality
+diagrams and publications.</em>
+<li>SVG - a Scalable Vector Graphics document<br><em>For high quality
+diagrams in publications and on the web.</em>
+</li></ul>
+
+<p><em>Tips for working with EPS Files</em></p>
+<li>The EPS file generated by jalview contains vector graphics which are directly
+ editable in graphics applications such as Adobe Illustrator.</li>
+<li>EPS files can be produced as "Text" or "Lineart". Use
+ "Text" if you want the final document to be MUCH smaller in diskspace
+ and be able to search, edit and select text. Use "Lineart" if you
+ want an exact image of the alignment as displayed in Jalview. This is useful
+ if a 3rd Party EPS viewer does not have the same Font which the EPS file was
+ created with.</li>
+<li>When importing an EPS file into a Microsoft office document, a snapshot image of the
+ file will be displayed which often looks blurred. Right-click the
+ image and choose "Edit image." to convert it to word
+ drawing objects which give a truer WYSIWIG representation.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Mac OSX users will find that eps files are automatically converted into
+ PDF files.
