Why is the export button greyed out in Premiere Elements 10?

I'm trying to export (into a file, ultimately to a disc) a one-minute extract of a 10-minute video in my timeline.  In earlier versions of PE i simply went to File>export and picked one of several options (movie etc).  In PE 10 (which I'm using on the Mac) the Export option is greyed out.

Any idea how I can activate it?

Thanks.

Just set the Work Area Bar to cover the range you want to extract, and tick the WAB only checkbox in the Share dialogues.

The Export function was removed a couple of generations ago.

All video is output using Share.

    Thank you Steve.  It does seem strange that they should leave the button on the file menu.

    Will the Share menu allow me to export short extracts rather than the entire movie?
