Resources for recording Introduction to Writer
Time | Narration |
00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Writer – |
00:05 | In this tutorial we will learn about: Introduction to Writer. |
00:10 | Various tool bars in Writer |
00:13 | How to open a new document and an existing document |
00:17 | How to save a document and |
00:20 | How to close a document in Writer. |
00:22 | LibreOffice Writer is the word processor component of the LibreOffice Suite. |
00:27 | It is the equivalent of Microsoft Word in Microsoft Office Suite. |
0:33 | It is a free and open source software so it can be shared, modified and distributed without any restrictions. |
00:41 | Since it is free to share,it can be shared without needing to pay any license fees. |
00:47 | To get started with LibreOffice suite,you can use either Microsoft Windows 2000 and its higher versions like MS Windows XP or MS Windows 7 or you can use GNU/Linux as your Operating System. |
01:04 | Here we are using GNU/Linux as our operating system |
01:11 | And LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4 |
01:16 | If you do not have LibreOffice Suite installed, Writer can be installed by using Synaptic Package Manager. |
01:24 | For more information on Synaptic Package Manager,please refer to the Linux Tutorials
and download LibreOffice Suite by following the instructions on this website. |
01:37 | Detailed instructions are available in the first tutorial of LibreOffice Suite. |
01:43 | Remember, when installing, use the Complete option to install Writer. |
01:50 | If you have already installed LibreOffice Suite, you will find LibreOffice Writer by clicking on the Applications option at the top left corner of your screen |
02:02 | and then clicking on Office and then on the LibreOffice option. |
02:08 | A new dialog box opens up with various LibreOffice components. |
02:13 | In order to access LibreOffice Writer, click on the “Text Document” option, which is the word processor component of the suite. |
02:23 | This will open an empty document in the main Writer window. |
02:28 | The Writer window has various tool bars like the title bar, |
02:33 | the menu bar, the standard toolbar, |
02:36 | the formatting bar and the status bar which have the most commonly used options which we will learn about as the tutorials progress. |
02:47 | Now let us start the tutorial by learning how to open a new document in Writer. |
02:53 | You can open a new document by clicking on the New icon in the standard toolbar |
03:00 | or by clicking on the File option in the menu bar |
03:05 | and then clicking on the New option and then finally clicking on the “Text document” option. |
03:12 | You see that a new Writer window opens up in both the cases. |
03:17 | Now type some text in the editor area. |
03:21 | So we will type, RESUME. |
03:24 | Once done writing your document, you should save it for future use. |
03:29 | To save this file, click on File in the menu bar |
03:33 | and then click on the Save As option. |
03:36 | A new dialog box appears on the screen where you are required to enter the name of your file under the “Name” field. |
03:44 | So enter the name of the file as resume. |
03:48 | Below the “Name” field you have the “Save in folder” field where you are required to enter the folder name which will contain your saved file. |
03:58 | So click on the down arrow in the “Save in folder” field |
04:02 | You see a list of folders appears in the menu where you can save your file. |
04:08 | Now let us click on the “Desktop”option. The file will be saved on the desktop. |
04:14 | You can also click on Browse for other folders |
04:18 | and choose the folder in which you want to save your document. |
04:23 | Now click on the File type option in the dialog box. |
04:27 | It shows you a list of file type options or file extensions under which you can save your file. |
04:34 | The default file type in LibreOffice Writer is the “ODF Text Document” which provides the extension “dot odt”. |
04:45 | ODT belongs to the Open Document Format or the ODF format which is a globally accepted open standard for word documents. |
04:56 | It is also accepted by the Government of India policy on 'open standards in e-Governance' |
05:04 | Besides saving as dot odt text documents, which can be opened in LibreOffice Writer, |
05:11 | you can also save your file as dot doc and as dot docx format which can be opened in the MS Office Word program. |
05:23 | Another popular file extension which opens in most programs is dot rtf, which is the “Rich Text Format”. |
05:33 | Now click on the “ODF Text Document” option. |
05:37 | You see that the file type, “ODF Text Document” and within brackets dot “odt”, gets displayed next to the “File type” option. |
05:48 | Now click on the “Save” button. |
05:50 | This takes you back to the Writer window with the filename and extension of your choice on the title bar. |
05:58 | You are now ready to write a text document in Writer window. |
06:03 | In addition to the formats discussed above ,the Writer documents can also be saved in dot html format which is a web page format. |
06:13 | This is done in the same way as explained before . |
06:17 | So click on the File option in the menubar and then click on the Save As option. |
06:24 | Now click on the ”File Type” option, and then click on the HTML Document and within braces Open Office dot org Writer option. |
06:35 | This option gives the dot html extension to the document. |
06:40 | Click on the Save button. |
06:42 | Now put a check on the Ask when not saving in ODF format option in the dialog box. |
06:50 | Finally click on the “Keep Current Format” option. |
06:55 | You see that the document gets saved with dot html extension. |
07:00 | The document can also be exported to PDF format by simply clicking on the “Export Directly as PDF”option in the standard tool bar. |
07:10 | As before, choose the location where you wish to save. |
07:15 | Alternately, you can do so by clicking on the “File” option in the menu bar and then clicking on the “Export as pdf” option. |
07:24 | In the Dialog box which appears ,click on “Export”and after that click on the “Save” button. |
07:32 | A pdf file will be created. |
07:35 | Lets close this document by clicking on “File” and then “Close”. |
07:40 | Next we will learn how to open an existing document in LibreOffice Writer. |
07:47 | Lets open the document Resume.odt. |
07:51 | To open an existing document, click on the “File” menu in the menubar at the top and then click on the “Open” option. |
08:00 | You see that a dialog box appears on the screen. |
08:04 | Here find the folder where you saved your document. |
08:08 | So click on the small pencil button at the top left corner of the dialog box. |
08:14 | It has the name, “Type a file Name”. |
08:16 | This opens a “Location Bar” field. |
08:19 | Here, type the name of the file you are looking for. |
08:24 | So we write the name of the file as “resume”. |
08:27 | Now the list which appears with resume as file names, choose resume dot odt |
08:34 | Now click on the Open button. |
08:37 | You see that the file resume.odt opens. |
08:41 | Alternately you can open an existing file by clicking on the “Open” icon in the toolbar at the top and doing the further process in the same manner. |
08:52 | You can also open files in Writer with dot doc and dot docx extensions which are used by Microsoft Word. |
09:03 | Next you will see how to modify a file and save it under the same file name. |
09:10 | So first select the text RESUME by clicking on the left mouse button and then dragging it along the text. |
09:17 | This will select the text and highlight it. Now release the left mouse button. |
09:24 | The text should still be highlighted. |
09:26 | Now click on the “Bold” icon in the standard toolbar. The text thus becomes bold. |
09:33 | In order to align this text to the centre of the page,click on the “Centered” icon in the toolbar. |
09:41 | You see that the text gets centrally aligned on the page. |
09:45 | Now let us increase the font size of the text. |
09:48 | So click on the down arrow in the “Font Size” field in the toolbar. |
09:53 | In the drop down menu,let us click on “14”. |
09:57 | So the font size of the text increases to “14”. |
10:01 | Now click on the down arrow in the Font Name field and then select UnDotum as the font name. |
10:09 | Click on the Save icon in the toolbar. |
10:13 | So you see that the file gets saved under the same file name even after the modification is done. |
10:21 | Once you have saved your document and you wish to close it, |
10:25 | just click on the File menu in the menu bar and click on the Close option.This closes your file. |
10:33 | This brings us to the end of the spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Writer |
