Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial about Setting Preferences in LibreOffice Draw.
00:06	In this tutorial, you will learn how to set the following preferences: Properties Create Versions View in color/grayscale/black-and-white.
00:18	Here, we are using: Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:29	Let us open the file "3D ObjectsChart" that we had saved earlier. And go to page 1.
00:40	Suppose we want to add descriptions to this file for later reference.
00:45	To do so, from the Main menu, select File and click Properties.
00:50	You will see the Properties dialog-box.
00:56	Click the General tab. All the information that is relevant to the file is listed here.
01:02	Please note: we can only view the file details here. You cannot make any changes.
01:09	Next, click on the Description tab.
01:13	Here, we can enter the Title, Subject, Keywords and Comments as per your requirement.
01:20	This information can be used as reference later.
01:25	In the Title field, let us type: "3D Objects Chart".
01:30	In the Subject field, we will type: "3D Objects Comparisons".
01:37	In Keywords, we’ll type: "3D and 3D Effects".
01:42	Finally, in the Comments field, let us type: "Learning about File Properties".
01:48	It is a good practice to type information that is relevant to the Draw file.
01:54	In addition to the properties present in the Description tab, you may want to set your own properties.
02:00	For example, you may want to know: the date on which the document was prepared,
02:05	the editor of the document,
02:07	the client for whom the document was prepared etc.
02:11	Draw has the features that help you customize this information.
02:17	In the Properties dialog-box, click Custom Properties.
02:23	Here, you will see three fields: Name, Type and Value.
02:30	Let’s click the Add button at the bottom-right.
02:33	You will now see drop-down boxes under each field.
02:40	Let us click on the Name drop-down and select the option Date Completed.
02:46	In the Type drop-down, we will select Date Time.
02:51	The Value field, will now indicate date and time.
02:55	Let us not change the date.
02:57	In the Time field, let us enter 10:30:33.
03:05	Now you know the date on which the document was prepared.
03:09	Let us add another field now. Click Add.
03:14	You will see a second list of drop-down boxes.
03:21	In the Name drop-down, let us select Checked by.
03:25	For the Type field, let us select Text.
03:29	In Value, type the text “ABC”.
03:33	Click OK. That’s how you add your own properties to a Draw file.
03:39	Now, let’s learn how to delete a property that we created.
03:44	Go to the Main menu, click on File and select Properties.
03:51	In the Properties dialog-box, click Custom Properties.
03:55	Let us delete the first property Checked by.
04:01	Click the Remove Property button on the right. The property is deleted.
04:07	Click OK.
04:11	You can save multiple versions of the Draw file too! This feature is called Versions.
04:17	For example, You may add objects on the first day and save it.
04:22	The next day you may modify the drawing.
04:24	You may want to have a copy of both the original drawing and the modified drawing.
04:31	Let us save the file using the Versions option.
04:33	From the Main menu, go to File and click Versions.
04:39	You will see the Versions dialog-box.
04:42	Click on the Save New Version button.
04:47	You will see the Insert Version Comment dialog-box.
04:51	Let’s type the comment "Version One".
04:55	Click on OK and then click on Close.
05:00	Now, let us change the text in the title- "Geometry in Two D Shapes and Three D Shapes".
05:07	Let’s change the colour of the text to blue.
05:18	Let us save the file using the Versions option.
05:22	From the Main menu, go to File and click on Versions.
05:26	Click on the Save New Version button.
05:30	The Insert Version Comment dialog appears.
05:34	Type the comment "Version Two".
05:36	Click OK.
05:40	There are now two versions listed here - "Version One" and "Version Two".
05:46	We know that Version One is the file with the black coloured title font.
05:51	And Version Two is the file with the blue coloured title font.
05:54	Let us select Version One and click on Open.
06:00	We can see the version with the black coloured title font.
06:05	You can enable automatic saving of versions, every time you close a Draw file.
06:11	To do so, click on File and then click on Versions.
06:15	Now, a check-box option says "Always save a version on closing".
06:23	Check this box.
06:24	This will ensure that every time you close the Draw file, a new version will be saved. Click Close.
06:34	You can also set the viewing preferences for your Draw file.
06:38	You can view your drawing in Color, Gray scale or Black and White.
06:44	By default, we view the Draw file in colour.
06:48	Let us change the view to Gray Scale.
06:53	Click on View, click Color/Grayscale and select Gray Scale.
06:59	You will see that the objects are now displayed in grey.
07:03	Now, let’s change the view to Black and White.
07:08	From the Main Menu, select View, click Color/Grayscale and select Black and White.
07:17	You will see that the objects are now displayed in black-and-white.
07:25	You can switch the view back to colour again.
