|-
||00:00
|| Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Writer- Creating Newsletters with Multiple Columns.

|-
||00:07
|| In this tutorial we will learn how to create newsletters in LibreOffice Writer and a few operations that can be performed on them.

|-
||00:17
|| Here we are using GNU/Linux as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.

|-
||00:27
|| A newsletter is used as a publication, which gets circulated out to its subscribers in a regular time interval. For example - a periodical, a pamphlet and many more.

|-
||00:39
||It has multiple columns as sections and makes it easier for the reader to go through different articles in these sections.

|-
||00:47
|| Using LibreOffice Writer one can create newsletters which make reading of articles much easier and faster.

|-
||00:55
||Lets open a new text document by clicking on '''File, New''' and '''Text Document''' option.

|-
||01:03
|| Save this document with filename '''Newsletter'''.

|-
||01:13
|| So we have a new text document named '''Newsletter'''.

|-
||01:17
|| Now lets insert columns into our document.

|-
||01:20
||To do so, first click on the '''Format''' button in the menu bar and then click on “Columns”.

|-
||01:27
|| A dialog box appears with various options -

|-
||01:31
||selecting the number of columns you want,

|-
||01:34
||setting the width and spacing of these columns

|-
||01:37
||as well as setting the various properties of the separator lines.

|-
||01:42
|| We will select two columns for the newsletter document by increasing the column field value to “2”.

|-
||01:49
|| The five icons besides the column field show you the preview of the various formats available.

|-
||01:56
|| So lets click on the second format.

|-
||01:59
||Lets keep all the other values which define the property of the columns as default.

|-
||02:05
||And click on the “OK” button.

|-
||02:08
|| You see that 2 columns get displayed in the text area.

|-
||02:12
|| Let us write an article in our first column.

|-
||02:15
||We will give its heading as '''Nature''' in bold text with font size 15.

|-
||02:21
||And below that we will write an article on it.

|-
||02:25
|| You see that the cursor automatically goes to the next column after it reaches the end of the first column.

|-
||02:33
|| You can even insert a picture in the column and resize it so that it fits into the column.

|-
||02:39
|| Now after leaving out some spaces you can write another article into the column.

|-
||02:46
|| So we will first give it a heading as '''Sports''' in bold text with font size 15 and below that we will write an article on it.

|-
||02:56
|| So you see - columns make it easier for the reader to go through multiple articles.

|-
||03:02
|| Let us delete some sentences so that our article fits in the first column only.

|-
||03:08
|| Then, to access the further columns click on the '''Insert''' button and then click on “Manual Break”.

|-
||03:16
|| In the dialog box which appears, click on the '''Column break''' button and then click on the “OK” button.

|-
||03:23
|| You see that the cursor comes on the next column automatically.

|-
||03:27
||So you can start writing another article in this column.

|-
||03:31
|| All the formatting options like

|-
||03:33
||'''Align left''', '''Align right''', adding “Background Color” to the text,

|-
||03:38
||“Highlighting” the text and many other features

|-
||03:41
||can be added to the text to make it attractive.

|-
||03:45
|| For example, we select the portion of the text to which we want to apply a background color.

|-
||03:51
||Now click on the “Background Color” icon in the toolbar and then click on “Green 4”.

|-
||03:59
||We see that the background color of the selected text changes to light green.

|-
||04:05
|| Like wise you can give different background colors to different parts of the text.

|-
||04:10
|| You can even add banners to the newsletter by first clicking on the '''Text''' option in the drawing toolbar.

|-
||04:18
|| Now place the textbox anywhere in the document where there is no written text.

|-
||04:24
||Inside the textbox you can write any text which will act as a banner or ads.

|-
||04:30
|| So let us type some text like '''This is a newsletter'''.

|-
||04:35
|| You can even add effects to this text.

|-
||04:37
||For example, first right click on the text and then click on the '''Text''' option in the menu.

|-
||04:45
|| A dialog box appears which has tabs namely '''Text''' and '''Text Animation'''.

|-
||04:50
||Click on the '''Text Animation''' tab.

|-
||04:53
|| In the '''Effects''' field under this tab there are various options.

|-
||04:58
|| In order to blink the text in the newsletter, we click on the '''Blink''' option

|-
||05:04
||And finally click on the “OK” button.

|-
||05:07
|| We see that the text '''This is a newsletter''' constantly blinks in the document.

|-
||05:13
||Similarly, various such effects and graphics can be given to the text.

|-
||05:18
|| Now for writing a new article on the next page, you need to first click on the “Insert” button

|-
||05:25
||And then click on the '''Manual Break''' option.

|-
||05:29
|| In the dialog box which appears, click on the '''Page break''' button.

|-
||05:34
||And finally click on the “OK” button.

|-
||05:37
|| You see that the cursor comes on the next page.

|-
||05:40
||This page contains the same column format as on the previous page.

|-
||05:46
|| For maintaining a word count in your article, first select a portion of your text or the entire document.

|-
||05:53
||Now click on the '''Tools''' option in the menu bar.

|-
||05:57
|| Now click on the '''Word Count''' option in the dropdown box.

|-
||06:02
|| A dialog box appears which shows you the word count of current selection and the whole document as well.

|-
||06:10
||It also shows the total count of characters in your entire document as well as in the selected text.

|-
||06:18
|| The spell check can be done automatically while writing the document.

|-
||06:23
||Click on the '''AutoSpellcheck''' icon in the toolbar.

|-
||06:28
|| Now while writing the article, if there are any spelling mistakes, then Writer automatically shows them by underlining the word with a red line.

|-
||06:37
||For example, when we write the word '''Cat''' as '''C -A- A -T''' and press the space-bar, we see that a red line is displayed below it.

|-
||06:48
|| But when we correct the word, the red line disappears.

|-
||06:52
|| Hence,we see that all the formatting options discussed in the previous tutorials can be applied in newsletters, too.

|-
||07:01
|| This brings us to the end of this spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Writer.

|-
||07:06
||To summarise, we learned about how to Create Newsletters in LibreOffice Writer and few operations which can be performed on them.
