  2. Make a copy as PDF, PNG images, Markdown, HTML, plain text and more, or turn a Markdown, text or CSV file into a new Office document. PDFs convert to Word, PowerPoint, Excel and text. The original is not touched.

  3. Change a chart’s type, title, legend, colours and data, or add a new chart from a few rows of data. Editing values also updates the chart’s embedded workbook in Office.
