+<title>Copying objects as PNG images</title>
+<para>
+Apart from offering you the normal copy, cut and paste functionality that you would expect to copy
+objects between different diagrams, &umbrello; can copy the objects as PNG pictures so that you can
+insert them into any other type of document. You do not need to do anything special to use this feature,
+just select an object from a diagram (Class, Actor, &etc;) and copy it (<keycombo>&Ctrl;<keycap>C</keycap></keycombo>,
+ or using the menu), then open a &kword; document (or any program into which you can paste images) and select <guimenuitem>Paste</guimenuitem>. This is a great feature
+to export parts of your diagram as simple pictures.
+</para>

+<sect2 id="export-as-png">
+<title>Exporting to an Image</title>
+<para>
+You can also export a complete diagram as an image. The only thing you need to do is select
+the diagram you want to export, and then the option <guimenuitem>Export as Picture...</guimenuitem> from
+the <guimenu>Diagram</guimenu> menu.

+<sect2 id="printing">
+<title>Printing</title>
+<para>
+&umbrello; allows you to print individual diagrams. Press the <guiicon>Print</guiicon> button on the
+ application toolbar or selecting the <guimenuitem>Print</guimenuitem> option from the
+<guimenu>File</guimenu> menu will give you a standard &kde; Print dialog from where you can print
+your diagrams.

+<sect2 id="logical-folders">
+<title>Logical Folders</title>
+<para>
+To better organize your model, especially for larger projects, you can create logical folders in
+the Tree View. Just select the option <menuchoice><guimenu>New</guimenu><guimenuitem>Folder</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from the context menu
+of the default folders in the Tree View to create them. Folders can be nested, and you can
+move objects around by dragging them from one folder and dropping them into another.
