The Page Setup for Export button opens a dialog box that allows you to lay out the page size and margins of the output. It makes it possible to specify wrapping and shrinking to make things fit.

When you want to produce output, click Continue in the Export Output dialog box, and the file is generated. Then you can load the output file directly into Word, as shown here.
