| Time | Narration |
| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Common Editing and Printing Functions in LibreOffice Draw. |
| 00:08 | In this tutorial, you will learn how to: |
| 00:10 | Set margins for the Draw page |
| 00:13 | Insert page numbers, Date and time |
| 00:16 | Undo and Redo actions |
| 00:18 | Rename a page and |
| 00:20 | Print a page. |
| 00:22 | Here, we are using: Ubuntu Linux, version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite, version 3.3.4. |
| 00:33 | Let’s open the file 'WaterCycle' and select the page that has the 'WaterCycle' diagram. |
| 00:40 | Let’s set Page Margins for this drawing. |
| 00:44 | Why are Page Margins necessary? |
| 00:46 | Page Margins determine the space within which the objects will be placed inside a page. |
| 00:53 | For example, we may need to print the drawing and file it. |
| 00:57 | Margins ensure that there is adequate space on the sides |
| 01:01 | so that a part of the figure is not cut or hidden when we print it. |
| 01:07 | Let’s set Page Margins and then print the WaterCycle drawing. |
| 01:11 | Let’s say the paper size that we use to print this diagram, is not the standard size. |
| 01:18 | It has a width of 20 cms and a height of 20 cms. |
| 01:23 | It also requires a bottom margin of 1.5 cms. |
| 01:29 | To set these measurements from the Main menu, select Format and click Page. |
| 01:35 | The Page Setup dialog-box appears. |
| 01:38 | Select the Page tab. |
| 01:41 | In the Width field, enter the value “20” and in the Height field “20”. |
| 01:47 | Under Margins, in the Bottom field, enter '1.5'. |
| 01:54 | To the right, you will see a preview of the Draw page. |
| 01:58 | This preview displays the changes made to the Draw page. |
| 02:02 | Click OK. |
| 02:04 | How does the drawing look? |
| 02:06 | It spills out of the page! |
| 02:08 | This also means that a part of the drawing will be lost when it is printed. |
| 02:14 | You must ensure that: The drawings are always within the margins. |
| 02:18 | When you draw, no part of the drawing spills out of the margin. |
| 02:23 | Therefore, it is a good practice to set up the page margins before you begin your drawing. |
| 02:29 | Again, from the Main menu, select Format and click Page. |
| 02:35 | The Page Setup dialog-box appears. |
| 02:38 | Click on the Page tab. |
| 02:40 | Click the Format drop-down list and select "A4". |
| 02:45 | This is the original margin that we had set. |
| 02:48 | Click OK. |
| 02:52 | The drawing is placed within the margins. |
| 02:55 | You can also access the Page setup dialog-box from the Draw page |
| 03:00 | by right-clicking on the page and using the context menu. |
| 03:05 | Let’s click Cancel and exit the dialog-box. |
| 03:09 | Now, let us insert page numbers, date, time and the author’s name. |
| 03:15 | Let us select the page with the WaterCycle diagram and insert a page number. |
| 03:21 | Go to the Main menu, select Insert and click Fields. |
| 03:27 | The list of Fields is displayed. |
| 03:31 | Fields contain values that are automatically generated by Draw. |
| 03:35 | We simply have to insert a Field and the value generated by Draw. |
| 03:41 | Let us click on Page number. |
| 03:43 | A text-box with the number '1' is inserted on the Draw page. |
| 03:48 | Let’s adjust the size of this text-box and make it a little smaller. |
| 03:55 | Now, let us drag the box and place it at the bottom right corner of the page. |
| 04:01 | To move the number box smoothly, select the number box and press the Shift key. |
| 04:07 | Now, let’s move it further down. |
| 04:11 | Let’s check if the next number has been inserted on page two of this Draw file. |
| 04:17 | It does not have a page number! |
| 04:20 | The page number is inserted only in the page where we inserted the field! |
| 04:26 | Now, let’s learn how to change the page number format. |
| 04:30 | From the Main menu, click on Format and select Page. |
| 04:36 | The Page Setup dialog-box appears. |
| 04:39 | Click on the Page tab. |
| 04:41 | Under the Layout settings, select Format. |
| 04:45 | From the drop-down list, select a, b, c. |
| 04:49 | Click OK. |
| 04:52 | The page numbering has changed from 1, 2, 3 to a, b, c. |
| 04:58 | Likewise, you can change it to any format. |
| 05:01 | Let’s learn how to insert Date and Time fields. |
| 05:05 | You can also insert Date and Time stamps on your Draw page. |
| 05:10 | You can do so by clicking on Insert and Fields. |
| 05:14 | One is Date(fixed) and Time(fixed). |
| 05:18 | The other is Date(variable) and Time(variable). |
| 05:23 | The Date (fixed) and Time (fixed) options insert the current date and time. |
| 05:29 | These date and time values will not be updated. |
| 05:33 | The Date (variable) and the Time (variable) options, on the other hand, |
| 05:37 | are automatically updated as and when you open the file. |
| 05:42 | Let’s insert the Time (variable) here. |
| 05:46 | Now, let us drag the box and place it above the page number at the bottom right corner of the page. |
| 05:56 | The time inserted will be updated to the current time whenever you open the Draw page. |
| 06:03 | Let us now enter the name of the author who has created this file. |
| 06:08 | Here, we shall setup the author’s name on page one as- “Teacher A. B.” |
| 06:17 | So, let’s go to Page one. |
| 06:19 | Go to the Main menu, select Tools and click Options. |
| 06:24 | The Options dialog-box appears. |
| 06:27 | In the Options dialog-box, click on LibreOffice and then click on User Data. |
| 06:34 | On the right hand side of the dialog-box, you can enter the user data information. |
| 06:40 | You can enter the details here as per your requirements. |
| 06:44 | In the "First/Last Name/Initials", let’s enter the text "Teacher", 'A', and 'B' respectively. |
| 06:53 | Click OK. |
| 06:55 | Now, from the Main menu, click Insert, select Fields and click Author. |
| 07:02 | The name Teacher A B is inserted in a text-box. |
| 07:07 | Let’s drag this box and place it just above the Time field, at the bottom right corner of the Draw page. |
| 07:15 | Now, what if we want to remove the fields we inserted, in the Draw page? |
| 07:21 | Simply select the text-box and press Delete key. |
| 07:25 | Let’s delete the field Author Name. |
| 07:28 | And what if we want to undo this action? |
| 07:31 | Simple.. you can undo any action by pressing Ctrl and 'Z' keys together. |
| 07:38 | The action that was last executed, that is, the deletion of the Author field, is undone. |
| 07:45 | The field is visible again. |
| 07:48 | We can undo or redo actions from the Main menu too. |
| 07:53 | From the Main menu, select Edit and click Redo. |
| 07:57 | The Author’s name is no longer visible! |
| 08:00 | Let’s press the Ctrl+Z keys and undo all the field insertions we made. |
| 08:06 | You can also use short-cut keys from the key board for the undo and redo commands. |
| 08:13 | Press the Ctrl and Z keys together to undo an action. |
| 08:18 | Press the Ctrl and Y keys together to redo an action. |
| 08:23 | Pause this tutorial and do this assignment. |
| 08:26 | Change the Author’s name and Save it. |
| 08:29 | Now, add two more arrows to the page. |
| 08:33 | Insert a page number and date on page two. |
| 08:38 | Now, undo and redo the last five actions. |
| 08:42 | Check if the Undo and Redo options undo all the actions or if some actions cannot be undone. |
| 08:51 | Let’s name this page “WaterCycleSlide”. |
| 08:54 | Select the slide in the Pages pane, right-click and select Rename Page. |
| 09:00 | The Rename Slide dialog-box appears. |
| 09:03 | In the Name field, let us enter the name "WaterCycleSlide". |
| 09:08 | Click OK. |
| 09:10 | Now, let’s place the cursor over this page. |
| 09:14 | Can you see the name “WaterCycleSlide” displayed here? |
| 09:18 | It is a good practice to assign a name that is relevant to the page. |
| 09:23 | Now, let’s set printing options and print the WaterCycle diagram. |
| 09:28 | In the Main menu, click File then click Print. |
| 09:33 | The Print dialog-box appears. |
| 09:36 | To know about the settings under General and Options tabs, |
| 09:41 | please see the tutorial on Viewing and printing Documents in the LibreOffice Writer series. |
| 09:48 | On the left side, you will see the page preview area. |
| 09:53 | The right side of the Print dialog-box comprises four tabs: |
| 09:58 | General, LibreOffice Draw, Page Layout, Options. |
| 10:04 | Let’s look at the options specific to LibreOffice Draw. |
| 10:09 | Click on the LibreOffice Draw tab. |
| 10:13 | Let’s check the boxes Page name and Date and Time. |
| 10:17 | This will print the page name, date and time along with the drawing. |
| 10:23 | Let us select Original colors and Fit to printable page to print the drawing. |
| 10:29 | Click on Print to print the 'WaterCycle' drawing from your computer. |
| 10:34 | If you have configured your printer correctly then your drawing should begin printing now. |
| 10:40 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial on LibreOffice Draw. |
| 10:45 | In this tutorial, you have learnt how to: |
| 10:48 | Set margins for the Draw page. |
| 10:50 | And how to insert page numbers, date, and time |
| 10:54 | To Undo and Redo actions |
| 10:57 | Rename a page and Print a page. |
| 11:01 | Here is an assignment for you. |
| 11:03 | Insert two more pages. |
| 11:06 | Set different margins for each page and print the label and the invitation that you created in the previous tutorial. |
