Time Narration
00:00 Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Calc – Formatting Data in Calc.
00:07 In this tutorial we will learn about:Formatting Borders, background colors.
00:14 Formatting multiple lines of text using Automatic Wrapping.
00:19 Merging Cells.Shrinking text to fit the cell.
00:23 Here we are using Ubuntu Linux as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:33 First let us learn about formatting borders in LibreOffice Calc.
00:38 Let us open our “personal finance tracker.ods” file.
00:43 Formatting of borders can be done on a particular cell or a block of cells.
00:49 For example, let us format the cells with the headings “Serial Number”, “Item”, “Cost”, “Spent”, ”Received”, ”Date”and ”Account”.
01:00 So let us first click on the cell with the heading Serial Number, denoted by “SN”.
01:07 Now hold down the left mouse button and drag it along the cells containing the headings.
01:13 After selecting the entire horizontal row containing the headings, click on the “Borders” icon on the Formatting toolbar.
01:22 A drop down box opens up containing several border styles.
01:27 Click on one of the styles you want to apply on the borders.
01:32 I will click on the last option.
01:35 We see that the borders get formatted according to our selected style.
01:41 Let us undo this change.
01:44 The selected cells are still highlighted.Right-click on the selection and choose “Format Cells” option.
01:53 Now click on the “Borders” tab.
01:56 You will see the options for “Line arrangement”, “Line”, “Spacing to contents” and “Shadow style”.
02:04 Displayed in each of these are the default settings of Calc.
02:08 But one can change any of these to suit our requirement.
02:14 Under “User-defined”, you can see a small preview window which displays the selection.
02:21 I will choose the third option under “Default” and you can see that it is reflected in the preview window.
02:29 I will also change the “Style”, “Width” and “Color”.
02:33 Again notice the change in the preview window.
02:37 Spacing to contents has the “Synchronize” option checked.
02:41 This means that the same spacing is applied to all the margins.
02:46 One can uncheck it and change the margin spacing as per the requirement.
02:52 I will change “Top” and “Bottom” margins to 1.4pt.
02:59 I will leave you to explore the various Shadow styles, on your own.
03:03 Click on OK.
03:05 This will apply the chosen style to the selected cells.
03:10 After learning how to format borders, now let us learn how to give background colors to cells.
03:17 In order to give background colors to cells, Calc provides an option called “Background Color”, located in the Formatting toolbar.
03:27 Now let us see how it is implemented.
03:30 For example, let us give a background color to the cells containing the headings.
03:36 So let us first click on the cell which contains the heading Serial Number, denoted by “SN”.
03:43 Now hold down the left mouse button and drag it along the cells containing the headings.
03:49 After selecting the entire horizontal row containing the headings, click on the “Background Color” option in the Formatting toolbar.
04:00 A pop up menu opens up where you can select the color you want to apply as a background.
04:08 Let us click on “Grey” color.
04:11 You can see that the cell background for the headings turns grey.
04:16 Calc provides various options for formatting multiple lines of text.
04:21 The first one is by using “Automatic Wrapping”.
04:25 "Automatic Wrapping” allows a user to enter multiple lines of text into a single cell.
04:32 So let us see how it is implemented.
04:35 Now in our “personal finance tracker.ods” sheet, let us click on a empty cell.
04:43 For example lets click on cell number “B12”.
04:47 Now do a right click on cell and then click on the “Format Cells” option.
04:53 Now click on the “Alignment” tab in the dialog box.
04:57 At the bottom of the dialog box click on the “Wrap text automatically” option and then click on the “OK” button.
05:06 Now we type “THIS IS A PERSONAL FINANCE TRACKER. IT IS VERY USEFUL”.
05:13 You see that the multiple statements get wrapped in a single cell.
05:19 Lets undo the changes
05:22 After learning about “Automatic Wrapping”, we will now learn how to merge cells in Calc.
05:28 In our “personal finance tracker.ods” file , if we want to merge cells containing the Serial Number with the heading “SN” and their corresponding items, then first click on the data entry '1' under the heading “SN”.
05:46 Now hold down the “Shift” key on the keyboard and click on the cell with its corresponding item, “Salary”.
05:55 This highlights the two cells that are to be merged.
05:59 Next click on the “Format” option in the menu bar and then click on the “Merge Cells” option.
06:06 In the sidebar which pops up, click on the “Merge Cells” option.
06:11 In order to move the contents of both the cells in a single cell, click on the “Yes” option in the dialog box which appears.
06:21 You see that the selected cells get merged into one and the contents are also within the same merged cell.
06:29 Now let us undo the merging we did by clicking by pressing “CTRL+Z” together.
06:37 Next we will learn how to shrink text to fit into the cell.
06:42 The font size of the data in a cell can be automatically adjusted to fit into a cell.
06:49 Let us learn how to do it.
06:51 Lets type the text “This is for the month of January” in the cell referenced as B14.
06:59 You see that the text doesn't fit into the cell.
07:03 In order to shrink the text so that it fits, click on the cell referenced as B14 first.
07:10 Now click on the “Format” option in the menu bar and then click on “Cells”.
07:18 Alternately, right-click on the cell and click on “Format Cells”.
07:23 You see that the “Format Cells” dialog box opens.
07:27 Click on the “Alignment” tab in the dialog box.
07:32 At the bottom of the dialog box, click on the “Shrink to fit cell size” check-box and then click on the “OK” button.
07:41 You see that the entire text shrinks and adjusts itself by decreasing its font size so that the text fits into the cell referenced as B14.
07:53 Lets undo the changes
07:56 This brings us to the end of the Spoken Tutorial on LibreOffice Calc.
08:01 To summarize, we learned about: Formatting Borders, background colors in Calc.
08:08 Formatting multiple lines of text using Automatic Wrapping.
