# Take your work out of Bower

> Export a note to Word, print the whole thing rather than the first screen, and get legible paper even if you work in dark mode.

**Shipped 2026-09-11 · Organisation**

Work that cannot leave the tool it was written in is work you end up retyping.
A protocol goes to a collaborator as a document, a results summary goes to a
client in their own format, and a method sheet goes to the bench on paper.

Three things were in the way. There was no Word export. Printing gave you one
page regardless of how long the note was. And a note written in dark mode
printed as pale text on a dark slab.

## What's new

* **Export a note to Word.** `.docx` is now in the note menu alongside the
  existing formats, generated in your browser. Nested content comes with it,
  and where something genuinely cannot be represented, the export says so
  rather than dropping it quietly.
* **Print the whole note.** `Cmd+P` produced exactly one page, because the app
  is a fixed-height scroller and paged media does not scroll. A researcher
  could not print a protocol before a lab session. It prints the full note now,
  and the toolbars stay off the page.
* **PDF export covers the full note too**, for the same reason and by the same
  fix.
* **Printing is always light.** Dark mode is for screens. Printing now forces
  the light palette so you get black text on white paper.
* **Numbered lists keep their own starting number.** A list starting at 7
  exported as a list starting at 1 in Word, plain text and Markdown. All three
  exporters now agree with what you see in the editor.

## Notes

`Cmd+P` opens your browser's print dialog, so "Save as PDF" from that dialog
and the note menu's PDF export both produce the whole note.

Banded table rows are a screen feature and do not carry into `.docx` or PDF.

Branded document templates, and control over scale, margins and orientation,
are still open requests rather than shipped work.
