Hello Ann, In OB 7, it's an option under the file menu "save to audio." You have the option to save a page range or single page and you can save to either wav, or mp3 format.
It may take a few minutes or hours, depending on the document size. Kurzweil has more options, like changing bitrates and to write to a cd.
