| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial about Setting Preferences in LibreOffice Draw. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, you will learn how to set the following preferences:
Properties,Create Versions, View in color/grayscale/black-and-white. |
| 00:18 | Here, we are using: Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4. |
| 00:29 | Let us open the file "3D ObjectsChart" that we had saved earlier. And go to page 1. |
| 00:40 | Suppose we want to add descriptions to this file for later reference. |
| 00:45 | To do so, from the Main menu, select File and click Properties. |
| 00:50 | You will see the Properties dialog-box. |
| 00:56 | Click the General tab. All the information that is relevant to the file is listed here. |
| 01:02 | Please note: we can only view the file details here. You cannot make any changes. |
| 01:09 | Next, click on the Description tab. |
| 01:13 | Here, we can enter the Title, Subject, Keywords and Comments as per your requirement. |
| 01:20 | This information can be used as reference later. |
| 01:25 | In the Title field, let us type: "3D Objects Chart". |
| 01:30 | In the Subject field, we will type: "3D Objects Comparisons". |
| 01:37 | In Keywords, we’ll type: "3D and 3D Effects". |
| 01:42 | Finally, in the Comments field, let us type: "Learning about File Properties". |
| 01:48 | It is a good practice to type information that is relevant to the Draw file. |
| 01:54 | In addition to the properties present in the Description tab, you may want to set your own properties. |
| 02:00 | For example, you may want to know: the date on which the document was prepared, |
| 02:05 | the editor of the document, |
| 02:07 | the client for whom the document was prepared etc. |
| 02:11 | Draw has the features that help you customize this information. |
| 02:17 | In the Properties dialog-box, click Custom Properties. |
| 02:23 | Here, you will see three fields: Name, Type and Value. |
| 02:30 | Let’s click the Add button at the bottom-right. |
| 02:33 | You will now see drop-down boxes under each field. |
| 02:40 | Let us click on the Name drop-down and select the option Date Completed. |
| 02:46 | In the Type drop-down, we will select Date Time. |
| 02:51 | The Value field, will now indicate date and time. |
| 02:55 | Let us not change the date. |
| 02:57 | In the Time field, let us enter 10:30:33. |
| 03:05 | Now you know the date on which the document was prepared. |
| 03:09 | Let us add another field now. Click Add. |
| 03:14 | You will see a second list of drop-down boxes. |
| 03:21 | In the Name drop-down, let us select Checked by. |
| 03:25 | For the Type field, let us select Text. |
| 03:29 | In Value, type the text “ABC”. |
| 03:33 | Click OK. That’s how you add your own properties to a Draw file. |
| 03:39 | Now, let’s learn how to delete a property that we created. |
| 03:44 | Go to the Main menu, click on File and select Properties. |
| 03:51 | In the Properties dialog-box, click Custom Properties. |
| 03:55 | Let us delete the first property Checked by. |
| 04:01 | Click the Remove Property button on the right. The property is deleted. |
| 04:07 | Click OK. |
| 04:11 | You can save multiple versions of the Draw file too! This feature is called Versions. |
| 04:17 | For example, You may add objects on the first day and save it. |
| 04:22 | The next day you may modify the drawing. |
| 04:24 | You may want to have a copy of both the original drawing and the modified drawing. |
| 04:31 | Let us save the file using the Versions option. |
| 04:33 | From the Main menu, go to File and click Versions. |
| 04:39 | You will see the Versions dialog-box. |
| 04:42 | Click on the Save New Version button. |
| 04:47 | You will see the Insert Version Comment dialog-box. |
| 04:51 | Let’s type the comment "Version One". |
| 04:55 | Click on OK and then click on Close. |
| 05:00 | Now, let us change the text in the title- "Geometry in Two D Shapes and Three D Shapes". |
| 05:07 | Let’s change the colour of the text to blue. |
| 05:18 | Let us save the file using the Versions option. |
| 05:22 | From the Main menu, go to File and click on Versions. |
| 05:26 | Click on the Save New Version button. |
| 05:30 | The Insert Version Comment dialog appears. |
| 05:34 | Type the comment "Version Two". |
| 05:36 | Click OK. |
| 05:40 | There are now two versions listed here - "Version One" and "Version Two". |
| 05:46 | We know that Version One is the file with the black coloured title font. |
| 05:51 | And Version Two is the file with the blue coloured title font. |
| 05:54 | Let us select Version One and click on Open. |
| 06:00 | We can see the version with the black coloured title font. |
| 06:05 | You can enable automatic saving of versions, every time you close a Draw file. |
| 06:11 | To do so, click on File and then click on Versions. |
| 06:15 | Now, a check-box option says "Always save a version on closing". |
| 06:23 | Check this box,This will ensure that every time you close the Draw file, a new version will be saved. Click Close. |
| 06:34 | You can also set the viewing preferences for your Draw file. |
| 06:38 | You can view your drawing in Color, Gray scale or Black and White. |
| 06:44 | By default, we view the Draw file in colour. |
| 06:48 | Let us change the view to Gray Scale. |
| 06:53 | Click on View, click Color/Grayscale and select Gray Scale. |
| 06:59 | You will see that the objects are now displayed in grey. |
| 07:03 | Now, let’s change the view to Black and White. |
| 07:08 | From the Main Menu, select View, click Color/Grayscale and select Black and White. |
| 07:17 | You will see that the objects are now displayed in black-and-white. |
| 07:25 | You can switch the view back to colour again. |
| 07:29 | To do so, click on View, click Color/Grayscale and select Color. |
| 07:36 | The drawing is again displayed in colour. |
| 07:43 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
