|-
|| 00:01
|| Welcome to the '''spoken tutorial''' on '''Introduction to LibreOffice Writer.'''

|-
|| 00:07
|| In this tutorial, we will learn:

|-
|| 00:10
|| About '''LibreOffice Writer'''

|-
|| 00:13
|| Various '''toolbars '''in '''Writer'''

|-
|| 00:16
|| How to open a new and existing document

|-
|| 00:20
|| To save''' '''and close a document in '''Writer'''

|-
|| 00:24
|| To save as '''MS Word '''document

|-
|| 00:27
|| To export as a '''PDF '''document

|-
|| 00:30
|| '''LibreOffice Writer''' is the '''word processor''' component of the '''LibreOffice Suite'''.

|-
|| 00:36
|| It is the equivalent of '''Microsoft Word''' in '''Microsoft Office Suite'''.

|-
|| 00:41
|| It's free and open source software.

|-
|| 00:45
|| It can be shared, modified and distributed without any restrictions.

|-
|| 00:51
|| '''LibreOffice Writer''' can run on any of the following operating systems:

|-
|| 00:57
|| '''Microsoft Windows 8''' or higher versions

|-
|| 01:01
|| '''GNU/Linux OS '''and

|-
|| 01:04
|| '''Mac OSX'''

|-
|| 01:07
|| This tutorial is recorded using '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' version 18.04 and

'''LibreOffice Suite '''version 6.3.5

|-
|| 01:19
|| By default, the latest '''Ubuntu Linux OS''' has '''LibreOffice Suite''' pre-installed in it

|-
|| 01:26
|| To install a specific version, refer to the '''LibreOffice Installation''' series on this website.

|-
||01:33
|| Let us learn how to open '''LibreOffice''' '''Writer.'''

|-
|| 01:37
|| In '''Ubuntu Linux OS''', click on the '''Show applications''' icon located at the bottom left corner.

|-
|| 01:45
|| In the '''search bar''' type '''Writer'''.

|-
|| 01:49
|| From the displayed list, click on the '''Libreoffice Writer''' icon.

|-
|| 01:55
|| In '''Windows OS''', click on the '''Start Menu''' icon located at the bottom left corner.

|-
|| 02:02
|| In the '''search bar,''' type '''Writer'''.

|-
|| 02:06
|| From the displayed list, click on the '''Libreoffice Writer''' icon.

|-
|| 02:11
|| This will open an empty document in the main '''Writer '''window.

|-
|| 02:16
|| Now let us learn about the main components of the '''Writer '''window.

|-
|| 02:21
|| The '''Writer''' window has various '''toolbars '''at the top.

|-
|| 02:25
|| These are '''Title''' '''bar''', '''Menu bar''', '''Standard toolbar '''and''' Formatting bar.'''

|-
|| 02:32
|| At the bottom, we see the''' Search bar, Drawing toolbar '''and''' Status bar.'''

|-
||02:39
|| We can enable or disable these '''toolbars''' from the interface.

|-
|| 02:44
|| To do so, go to the '''View''' '''menu''' and select '''Toolbars'''.

|-
|| 02:49
|| From the sub menu, check or uncheck the '''toolbars''' based on your preference.
|-
|| 02:56
|| At the right side, we see the vertical '''scroll bar '''and '''sidebar.'''

|-
|| 03:01
|| All of these have the most commonly used options.

|-
|| 03:05
|| We will learn about these as the series progresses.
|-
||03:09
|| Now let us learn how to open a new document in '''Writer.'''

|-
|| 03:14
|| We can open a new document by clicking on the '''New''' icon in the '''Standard''' '''toolbar.'''

|-
|| 03:20
|| Alternatively go to the '''File''' '''menu''' in the '''menu bar.'''

|-
|| 03:25
|| Then click on the sub menu '''New''' and select the option '''Text Document.'''
|-
||03:32
|| A new '''Writer''' document named '''Untitled 2 '''opens up.

|-
|| 03:37
|| Close the newly opened document''' '''named''' Untitled 2 '''by clicking on the '''X '''icon at the top right.
|-
|| 03:44
|| Now, we’ll type some text in the''' Untitled 1''' document.

|-
|| 03:49
|| Type the word “'''RESUME'''”.

|-
|| 03:53
|| Once done typing our document, we should save it for future use.

|-
|| 03:58
|| To save the file, click on the '''Save '''icon in the '''Standard toolbar'''.
|-
|| 04:03
|| A''' '''dialog box appears on the screen.

|-
||04:06
|| It prompts us to enter the name of our file in the '''Name''' field.

|-
|| 04:11
|| I will type the name of the file as''' “Resume”.'''

|-
|| 04:15
|| On the left side, I’ll select '''Desktop''' as the location to save my file.

|-
|| 04:21
|| Notice, we have a '''File type''' drop-down at the bottom right corner.

Click on this drop-down.
|-
|| 04:29
|| It shows a list of '''file types''' or '''file extensions''' in which we can save our file.

|-
||04:35
||The default '''file type''' in '''LibreOffice Writer''' is '''ODF''' '''Text Document (.odt)'''.

|-
|| 04:42
|| '''ODF''' stands for '''Open Document Format''' which is an open standard.
|-
|| 04:48
|| It is also accepted by the Government of India policy on '''open standards in e-Governance'''.
|-
|| 04:55
|| I will click on the '''ODF Text Document''' option to save my file.

|-
|| 05:00
|| Do likewise on your machine.

|-
|| 05:02
|| Click on the '''Save''' button at the top right corner of the dialog box.
|-
|| 05:07
|| We will be redirected back to the '''Writer''' window.
|-
|| 05:12
|| Observe the change in the '''title bar '''now.

It has changed to '''Resume.odt'''
|-
|| 05:18
|| Besides saving in '''dot odt''' format, we can also save our file in '''dot doc''' and in '''dot docx''' formats.

|-
|| 05:28
|| Files with these formats can be opened later in '''MS Word '''application.

|-
|| 05:34
|| Now, we will save the same file as a '''docx '''file.

|-
|| 05:39
|| Go to '''File menu '''in the '''menu bar''' and then click on the '''Save As''' option.

|-
|| 05:45
|| In the '''Save As''' dialog box, click on the '''File type '''drop-down at the bottom right corner.

|-
|| 05:51
|| Scroll down and select''' Word 2007 - 365 (.docx)'''

|-
|| 05:59
|| Again choose the same file location to save.

|-
|| 06:03
|| Then click on the '''Save''' button at the top right corner of the dialog box.

|-
||06:08
|| If we save the file in any other file format, '''Confirm File Format '''dialog box opens up.

|-
|| 06:15
|| Put a check on “'''Ask when not saving in ODF or default format”''' option.

|-
|| 06:21
|| Then click on the '''Use Word 2007 - 365 Format''' button.

|-
|| 06:28
|| We will be redirected back to the '''Writer''' window.

|-
|| 06:32
|| Observe the change in the '''title bar '''now.

It has changed to '''Resume.docx'''
|-
|| 06:38
|| The file can also be exported to '''PDF''' format.

|-
|| 06:42
||Click on the '''Export Directly as PDF''' icon in the '''Standard toolbar'''.
|-
|| 06:47
|| Type a '''filename''', choose a location and click on the '''Save '''button at the top right.
|-
|| 06:53
|| I will click on '''Cancel''' and show another way of saving the document in '''PDF''' format.
|-
|| 07:00
|| Click on the '''File''' '''menu''' in the '''menu bar '''and select '''Export As''' sub-menu option.

Then click on the '''Export as PDF''' option.

|-
||07:11
||'''PDF options''' dialog box opens up.

|-
|| 07:15
||In this dialog box, we will see various settings to customize the '''PDF''' option.

|-
|| 07:21
||Keep the default settings as it is and click on the '''Export''' button at the bottom.
|-
|| 07:27
|| Type a '''filename''', choose a location and click on the '''Save '''button at the top right.

|-
|| 07:34
||A '''pdf '''file will be created in the selected location.
|-
|| 07:38
|| Another popular extension which opens in most applications, is '''dot rtf,''' the '''Rich Text Format.'''
|-
|| 07:45
|| We can save the file in '''dot html''' format also, which is a '''web page format'''.

|-
|| 07:53
||This is done in the same way as explained above.
|-
|| 07:57
|| In the '''File type '''drop-down, scroll down and select''' HTML Document (Writer)(.html).'''

|-
|| 08:05
||This option gives the '''dot html''' extension to the document.
|-
|| 08:10
|| Again choose the same file location to save.

Now click on the '''Save''' button at the top right corner of the dialog box.
|-
|| 08:19
|| The '''Confirm File Format '''dialog box opens.

|-
|| 08:23
||Put a check on “'''Ask when not saving in ODF or default forma'''t” option.
|-
|| 08:29
|| Then click on the '''Use HTML Document (Writer) Format''' button.
|-
|| 08:35
|| We see that the file gets saved with '''dot html''' extension.

|-
|| 08:40
||This format is used when we want to show our '''document''' as a''' web page.'''

|-
|| 08:45
||It can be opened in any '''web browser'''.
|-
|| 08:48
|| Let's close this document by clicking on the '''File menu''' and then '''Close.'''
|-
|| 08:53
|| Next, we will learn how to open an existing document in '''LibreOffice Writer.'''

Let's open the document '''Resume.odt'''
|-
|| 09:03
|| Click on the '''Open File''' '''menu''' on the left of the '''LibreOffice''' interface.

|-
|| 09:09
||The file browser dialog box opens up.

Go to the location where our file is saved.

|-
||09:16
|| Now in the list of filenames that appears, choose '''Resume.odt'''

|-
|| 09:22
||Then click on the '''Open''' button at the top right corner.

|-
|| 09:27
||The file '''Resume.odt''' opens in the '''Writer '''window.

|-
|| 09:32
|| Likewise, we can also open files with '''dot doc''' and '''dot docx''' extensions in '''Writer.'''
|-
|| 09:39
|| Next we will see how to modify a file and save it under the same filename.
|-
|| 09:45
|| So, first let us select the word '''RESUME. '''

|-
|| 09:49
||To do so click the''' '''left''' mouse button '''and then drag it along the text.

This will select the text and highlight it.
|-
|| 09:59
|| Now release the left '''mouse button.'''

The text should still be highlighted.
|-
|| 10:05
|| Now, click on the '''Bold''' icon in the '''Formatting''' '''bar'''.

The text thus becomes '''bold.'''
|-
|| 10:12
|| Next, let us align the word '''RESUME''' to the centre of the page.
|-
|| 10:17
|| If you have resized your '''LibreOffice''' window, some of the '''icons '''may not be visible.
|-
|| 10:23
|| In that case, click on the double arrow icon at the end of the '''toolbars '''.
|-
|| 10:29
|| Click on the '''Align Center''' icon in the '''Formatting''' '''bar.'''
|-
|| 10:34
|| We see that the text gets aligned to the center of the page.
|-
|| 10:38
|| Now, let us increase the''' font size '''of the text.
|-
|| 10:42
|| So, click on the down-arrow in the '''Font Size''' field in the '''Formatting bar.'''
|-
|| 10:47
|| In the drop-down, let us select '''14.'''

The '''font size''' of the text increases to '''14'''.
|-
|| 10:56
|| Next, let us change the '''Font''' we are using.

|-
|| 11:00
||Click on the down-arrow in the '''Font Name''' field in the '''Formatting bar.'''
|-
|| 11:05
|| In the drop-down, let us select '''Undotum'''.

The '''font name '''of the text has changed to '''Undotum'''.
|-
|| 11:13
|| Let us now save the changes that we have made.

To do so, press '''Ctrl + S''' keys together.
|-
|| 11:22
|| The file gets saved with the same filename even after the modification is done.
|-
||11:27
|| Let's close the document now.

|-
|| 11:29
||Click on the '''File''' menu in the '''menu bar '''and then click on the '''Close''' option.
|-
|| 11:35
|| This brings us to the end of this spoken tutorial.
