00:24 Here we are using Ubuntu Linux 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4
00:33 LibreOffice Writer allows you to add page numbers to a document.
00:38 We shall open our resume.odt file.
00:42 To insert page numbers in the footer, we first click on the page where we want to insert the footer.
00:49 So lets click on the document page.
00:51 Now click on the “Insert” option in the menu bar and then click on the“Footer” option.
00:58 Next, click on the “Default” option.
01:01 We see that a footer is added at the bottom of the page.
01:06 To display the page number in the footer, we shall first click on the “Insert” option.
01;12 Then click on the “Fields” option.
01:15 You can see several footer options are displayed here.
01;19 Click on the “Page Number” to insert the page number in the document.
01:24 Immediately, we see that the number “1” is displayed in the footer.
01:29 In order to give different styles to the page number, double click on the page number.
01:35 We see that the “Edit Fields: Document” dialog box appears on the screen.
01:41 Under the “Format” option, you see many formats like “A B C in uppercase”, “a b c in lowercase”,”Arabic 1 2 3”and many more.
01:53 Here you can choose the page numbering style that you prefer.
01:58 We will choose “Roman i,ii,iii “ option and then click on the “OK” button.
02:05 You see that the numbering format changes for the page.
02:09 Similarly, we can insert a header into the document.
02:13 First click on the page where the header should be inserted.
02:17 Now click on the “Insert” menu and then click on the “Header” option.
02;23 Click on the “Default” option.

02:42 The date is displayed in the header.
02:45 Double-clicking on the date shows all the possible formats in which the date can be displayed.
02:51 Here we will choose 31 Dec, 1999 and click on OK.
02:58 Now click on the “File” menu in the menu bar and then click on the “Page preview” option.
03:05 Let us zoom the document to “50%”.
03:09 So we can see the “Date” at the top of the page and the page number at the bottom.
03:15 This will be replicated on all the pages of the document.
03:19 To get back to the original document, click on the “Close Preview” button.
03:25 You can also adjust the spacing of the text relative to the header or footer frame.
03:30 Or apply a border to the header or footer.
03:34 Click on the “Format” option in the menu bar and then click on “Page”.
03:40 Select the “Footer” tab in the dialog box.
03:43 Set the spacing options that you want to use by setting the value of the “Left margin” to 1.00cm”.
03:52 To add a border or a shadow to the footer, click on the “More” option first and then set the value of the options you want to put into the footer.
04:03 For example , to put a shadow style to the footer, we click on the “Cast Shadow to Top Right” icon.
04;10 This is visible here - among the various icons available under the “Position” tab of the “Shadow style” option.
04:18 You can choose the colour of the border and the shadow as well.
04:23 Explore this dialog box to know more about each of the available options.
04:28 Now click on the “OK”.
04:30 Again click on OK and we see that the effect is added to the footer.
04;36 Lets add another page to our document before proceeding further.
04:41 This done by clicking Insert >> Manual Break and choosing the Page break option.
04:47 Then click on “OK”


04:50 Notice that the page number is displayed as “2”.
04:54 If you don’t want a footer on the first page of the document, then first place the cursor on the first page.
05:01 Next click on “Format” in the menu bar and click on the “Styles and Formatting” option.
05:08 Now in the dialog box which appears, click on the 4th icon at the top, which is “Page Styles”.
05:16 Then right-click on the “First Page” option.

05:25 In the “Name” field we can type the name of the new style we wish to insert.
04:30 So here ,we will type the name as “new first page”.
05:35 Set “Next Style” as “Default”.
05:38 Now click on the “Footer” tab in the dialog box.
05:42 Uncheck the “Footer on” checkbox if it is not unchecked by default.
05:48 Finally, click on the “OK” button.
05:51 We are back to the Styles and Formatting dialog box.
05:55 Notice that “new first page” style appears under the “Page Styles” options.
06:01 Now double click on the “new first page”.
06:04 You see that there is footer on all the pages of the document except the first page.
06:11 Likewise you can do modifications on all the available default styles and apply them on each page of the document.
06:19 Lets close this dialog box.
06:22 Now, lets learn about footnotes and endnotes in LibreOffice Writer.
06:27 Footnotes appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced
06:31 whereas Endnotes are collected at the end of a document.
06:35 The anchor for the note is inserted at the current cursor position.
06:40 You can choose between automatic numbering or a custom symbol.
06:45 To access this option, first click on the “Insert” option in the menu bar.
06:51 Then click on the “Footnote/Endnote” option.
06:55 You see that a dialog box appears on the screen with headings named “Numbering” and “Type”.
07:02 There are checkboxes namely ,”Automatic”, “Character”, “Footnote” and “Endnote”.
07:08 “Numbering” allows you to select the type of numbering that you want to use for footnotes and endnotes.
07:15 The “Automatic” option automatically assigns consecutive numbers to the footnotes or endnotes that you insert.
07:24 Lets close this dialog box.
07:26 To change the settings for automatic numbering, click on the “Tools” option in the menu bar
07:33 And then click on “Footnotes/Endnotes.”
07:37 You have a choice of automatic settings for AutoNumbering and Styles.
07:42 Choose from these options as per your requirement and then click on the “OK” button.
07:49 Lets go back to Insert and Footnote/Endnote option.
07:54 The “Character” option is used to define a character or symbol for the current footnote.
08:00 This can be either a letter or number.
08:03 To assign a special character, click on the button below the character field.
08:09 Now click on any of the special characters you want to insert and then click on the “OK” button.
08:17 Click on either “Footnote” or “Endnote” option under the “Type” heading to specify our choice.
08:24 So we will select “Automatic” under “Numbering” and “Footnote” under “Type”
08:29 Now click on the “OK” button.
08:32 You see that a footnote field appears at the bottom of the page with default numerical value.
08:39 You can write the text “This is the end of first page” in the footnote field
08:45 And then press the “Enter” button on the keyboard.
08:48 You can see the required footnote along with the text at the bottom of the page.
