Appreciate the response. The problem is that the new process introduces another click where you have to select the document format. In iWork '09, you click the menu, then drag to word, then a menu opens. so 1-2 clicks vs. extra clicks and context shifts. It's a step backward.

I realize an update to Mavericks won't necessarily affect iWork, but I'm too attached to my current process to even risk it. It's an irrational behavior, I know. :-)

Yeah, that is an unfortunate result from adding more functionality in the same menu. I would’ve preferred to have two buttons: one for sharing links and one for sharing files. Even better: I’d like to customize the toolbar, like you can in Finder.

Currently, there’s no preference option to set a standard export format. I’m sure you could write a script that automates the process, but you might have to do it through UI actions.

Personally, I’ve starting sending links instead of files. Doing so only takes two clicks, like we’re used to.
