-PuTTYgen has the ability to export private keys in OpenSSH format,
-or in \cw{ssh.com} format. To do so, select an option from the
-\q{Export} menu at the top of the PuTTYgen window. Exporting a key
-works exactly like saving it (see \k{puttygen-savepriv}) - you need
-to have typed your passphrase in beforehand, and you will be warned
-if you are about to save a key without a passphrase.
-
-Note that the export options are only available if you have
-generated an SSH2 key.
+Using the \I{importing keys}\q{Import} command from the \q{Conversions}
+menu, PuTTYgen can load SSH-2 private keys in OpenSSH's format and
+\cw{ssh.com}'s format. Once you have loaded one of these key types, you
+can then save it back out as a PuTTY-format key (\c{*.\i{PPK}}) so that
+you can use it with the PuTTY suite. The passphrase will be unchanged by this
+process (unless you deliberately change it). You may want to change
+the key comment before you save the key, since OpenSSH's SSH-2 key
+format contains no space for a comment and \cw{ssh.com}'s default
+comment format is long and verbose.
+
+PuTTYgen can also \i{export private keys} in OpenSSH format and in
+\cw{ssh.com} format. To do so, select one of the \q{Export} options
+from the \q{Conversions} menu. Exporting a key works exactly like
+saving it (see \k{puttygen-savepriv}) - you need to have typed your
+passphrase in beforehand, and you will be warned if you are about to
+save a key without a passphrase.
+
+Note that since only SSH-2 keys come in different formats, the export
+options are not available if you have generated an SSH-1 key.
