|| Welcome to the tutorial on '''Wordprocessor Basics'''

|-
|| '''Show Slide '''
'''Learning Objectives'''
||
In this tutorial we will learn :
Using '''Libre Office''' with '''Orca''' screen reader

|-
|| '''Show Slide'''
'''System Requirements'''
||
To record this tutorial, I am using:
'''Orca''' screen reader on '''Ubuntu 12.04''' Operating System.
'''Libre office'''
6 tutorials in the first time with '''Orca''' section.

|-
|| Start '''Orca'''
|| Press '''alt + f2''' to get to the '''run''' dialog and entering '''Orca'''.

|-
|| Go to applications menu

* Press '''alt + f1'''
* Keep pressing the down arrow till you locate the office sub menu.
* Open the sub menu

|-
||

* Press the up arrow till you locate the '''Libre office''' word processor and
hit enter.
* So now we hear '''Orca''' telling us that '''Libre office''' writer is opened with a blank document.
* The actual name of the word processor is "Libre Office Writer".

|-
||

Actually, ''' Orca''' did tell us that the document is called '''Untitled1'''.

|-
|| Formatting in ''' Libre office'''
|| Suppose we are writing report on ''' Orca''' screen reader.

|-
|| Lets see how text can be aligned in the document.

* Let's create a title for our report.
* A heading is generally aligned to the centre
Text for a title is mostly in bold letters.

|-
|| So let's do it for our document as well.

* Press ''' Control + e''' to switch the word processor into '''center alignment''' mode.
As you heard, Orca responded by saying "centered on".
Similarly you can press ''' control + r''' for right alignment,
''' control + L''' for left alignment and ''' control + j''' for justified.

|-
|| Note that this is a keyboard shortcut for the word processor and not an ''' Orca''' command.

* Yet the change in the alignment is reported to us by ''' Orca''' .
* Now whatever you type will appear at the center.

|-
||

* We will also turn on the bold lettering mode.
* For this we will press '''control + b'''.
* There you are, '''Orca''' responded back by telling us that the bold mode is on.

|-

* Similarly you can '''underline''' text by pressing '''control + u''' and '''italicize''' text by pressing '''control + i'''.
* These commands are toggles. This means pressing the '''control + b''' will toggle the status to off if it
was on.

|-
|| Lets write "Orca, a FOSS based screen reader"
Hit '''enter''' 2 times to create some blank space.

Now we are going to write the actual content.
|-
|| Let's shift to '''left alignment'''.

Press '''Control + l'''.
You heard '''Orca''' telling us that the '''center alignment''' mode is off and now the text we type will be aligned left.

|-
* This means that every line will start from the left marjin.
* Lets type some introductory matter to our report -
"'''Orca''' is a screen reader for '''GNU/Linux''' based desktop.
Just like the Operating System, '''Orca''' is also free.
It comes bundled with most Distributions of '''GNU/Linux''' such as '''Ubuntu''', '''Fedora''' and '''Debian'''."

|-
|| Now what if we want to confirm our text formatting and alignment?

Well, '''Orca''' has a keyboard command for this too.

|-
|| Let's try asking '''Orca''' to tell us the format of our heading.

Press up arrow till you hear our first line that says
"Orca, a FOSS based screen reader".

|-
|| To be on the safer side, Press the '''Home''' key to be at the start of line.

* I will press the key combination '''Insert + f''' to hear the formatting information.
* Laptop users will have to replace '''insert''' with '''capslock'''.
Wow, so '''Orca''' tells us that the current word in focus is aligned center,
The size of the text is 12 point and that it is bold.

|-
|| Increase the font size of this line to make it look more evident.

Let's see how '''Orca''' assists us to accomplish this task.

|-
||Go through the tutorial on '''cut, copy and paste with orca'''
you will remember that

* we use the command '''Shift + End''' to select a line.
* So lets use that same command here.
* As you heard, '''Orca''' informs us that the line is selected.

|-
|| Now press the '''popup''' button on your computer.

* Between the right side '''control''' and '''alt''' key .
* Now what we have is a '''popup''' menu which provides us many options.

|-
|| Keep pressing the down arrow till we reach '''Size''' option.
||
* Now hit the right arrow to open the submenu.
* Keep pressing down arrow untill you hear 14 as the size.
* Now hit '''enter''' to set this size.

|-
|| Format information
||
* Press the down arrow once and come back to the previous line using up arrow.
* Now press '''insert + f'''.
* So '''Orca''' now tells us the formatting information
* we can figure out that the font size has indeed changed!

|-
|| Finally, let's save the file.

* You can open the file menu by pressing '''Alt + f '''
* Then locate the ''''Save' ''' button.
* This is what we did in the copy paste tutorial.

|-
|| Shortcut for ''' Save'''

Press ''' Control + s''' to open the ''' save''' dialog.

|-
||Default name

* The default file name is ''' Untitled1''' .
* Since it is selected, we can press '''Backspace''' once to delete that name
* Now type whatever name pleases you.
* I will enter ''' “Orca_report”''' in this case.

|-
|| Default Format

* The default format is ''' ODT''' meaning ''' Open Document Text''' .
We can save it in different formats which outside the scope of this tutorial.
* Hit ''' Enter''' to confirm the name and save the file.

|-
|| Quit word processor

Go to ''' file''' menu and press the up arrow to find the exit option.

Summary
||
So in this tutorial we have seen :
Orca helps us to make neatly formatted
documents.
* '''Orca''' functioning ,using and customizing the '''Launcher pane'''.
* Thus we can have '''Orca''' in the '''Launcher pane''' also than typing through '''run''' dialog.
