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
