Show Slide Number 3 OS and versions	Here we are using Ubuntu Linux 10.04 as our operating system and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4
	We will start by learning how to “insert an image file” in LibreOffice Writer.
Open “resume.odt”	First let us open our resume.odt file.
Click in the text area of “resume.odt” Click “Insert”->click on “Picture”->click on “From File”	In order to insert an image into the document,first click inside the “resume.odt” document. Now click on the “Insert” option in the menu bar,then click on “Picture” and finally click on “From File” option.
Point to “Insert picture”. Point to “Location” field.	You see that an “Insert picture” dialog box appears. Now you can select a picture if you have saved it on your system by writing the name of the file in the “Location” field. Since we havent saved any,we will insert a picture from among the options which are provided by default.
Click on “Pictures”	So click on the “Pictures” option on the left hand side of the dialog box.
Click on the first image file ->click on “Open”.	Now click on one of the images and finally click on the “Open” button.
Show “resume .odt” Click on image. Press the left mouse button to resize it so to a small square. Click on image->drag it to top right corner.	You see that the image gets inserted into your document. You can resize this image and drag it to the top right corner of the resume. So click on the image first. You see that colored handles appear on the image. Place the cursor on one of the handles and press the left mouse button. Resize the image by dragging the cursor. After the resizing is done,click on the image and drag it to the top right corner of the editor.
	Other popular methods of inserting images is by using clipboard or scanner and from the gallery.
	Next we will learn how to insert tables in Writer.
	Tables in LibreOffice writer enable users to store their information in a tabular form.
Point to “Table” icon in the toolbar. Point to “Insert” in the menu bar.	To insert a table into your document you can either click on the “Table” icon in the tool bar and select the size of the table or you can do so through the “Insert” option in the menu bar.
Place cursor below “EDUCATION DETAILS”.	So in order to insert a table below the heading,”Education Details”,place the cursor below this heading.
Click on “Insert”->click on “Tables”	Now click on the “Insert” menu in the menubar and then click on the “Tables” option.
	It opens up a dialog box with several fields.
Write “resumetable” in the “Name” field.	In the “Name” field,let us give the name of the table as “resume table”.
Point to “Columns” Click on upward arrow in “Rows”->set value to “4”.	Under the heading “Size” let us keep the number of “Columns” as “2”. Click on the upward arrow in the “Rows” field and increase the number of “Rows” to “4”. Hence you can increase or decrease the size of the table using the up and the down arrows in the columns and rows field.
Click on “AutoFormat”.	Now click on the “AutoFormat” button in the dialog box.
Drag on all options under “Format”. Click on “None”->click on “OK”	This opens a new dialog box where you can select the format of the table you want to insert. Writer provides several options to choose from. We click on the “None” option under “Format” and then click on the “OK” button.
Click on “OK”.	Again click on the “OK” button.
Point to table	You see that the table with two columns and four rows gets inserted below the heading.
	Now we can write any information in tabular form inside the table.
click inside the cell in the first row and first column of the table.	For example, click inside the cell in the first row and first column of the table.
Write “Secondary School Examination”. Click on adjacent cell->type “93%”.	We type here “Secondary School Examination”. Now click on the adjacent cell and write “93 percent”. So this shows that Ramesh scored 93 percent in the secondary school examination.
	Likewise,we can type further educational details in the table.
Click on cell below “Secondary School Examination”->type “Higher Secondary School Examination”. Click on adjacent cell->type “88%”.	Click on the cell just below the cell where we typed “Secondary School Examination”. We write here “Higher Secondary School Examination” and in the adjacent cell, we write the score as “88 percent”.
Click on first cell in third row->type “Graduation”->click on adjacent cell->Type “ 75%”	Click on the first cell in the third row to access the next cell. Alternately, you may press the TAB key to move from cell-to-cell. So, lets press TAB and type “Graduation”. Type the score as “75%” in the adjacent cell.
In the last row,click on 1st cell->type “Post Graduation”->write “70%”	Finally in the last row we type the heading as “Post Graduation”in the first cell and in the adjacent cell,the score as “70 percent”.
Point to table. Place the cursor in the last cell after “70%”	So we see that the table with education details is represented in the resume. Let us place the cursor in the last cell of the table.
Press “Tab” Type “Phd” in the left cell of the last row->Type “65%” in the right cell of the last row.	Now if we want to add an additional row just below the last row of the table,press the “Tab” key on the keyboard. You see that a new row gets inserted. On the left hand side of the table we type “Phd” as the degree attained and on the right hand side we type “65%” as the marks obtained. So,we see that the “Tab” key is very useful in order to add new rows one below the other when the cursor is placed in the last cell. Using Tab and Shift+Tab, one can also navigate from cell-to-cell within the table.
	Another important feature in Tables is the “Optimal Column Width” option which automatically adjusts the column widths according to the contents of the cells.
Click and place the cursor anywhere in the second column.	In order to apply this feature in the second or the right hand side column of the table,first click and place the cursor anywhere in the second column.
Click and place cursor after “65%”.	So let us place the cursor after the text “65%” in the last cell.
Click on “Table”->goto “Autofit”->click on “Optimal Column Width” option.	Now click on the “Table” menu in the menubar and then go to the “Autofit” option. In the menu which appears on the screen, click on the “Optimal Column Width” option.
Point to the right hand side column.	You see that the column width adjusts itself automatically,matching the content of the cells in the column. Similarly,we can do this for any of the columns in a table. You can set different kinds of borders for your table - from having no borders at all, to having all inner and outer borders, or only outer borders in your table etc. For this, select Table tab in the main menu and Table Properties option, Borders tab to select appropriate option.
Switch to slides. (ALT+TAB) Show Slide Number 4	Next we will see how hyperlinks are created in Writer. A user following hyperlinks is said to navigate or browse the hypertext.
Show Slide Number 5	A hyperlink is a reference to a document that the reader can directly follow, or that is followed automatically. A hyperlink points to a whole document or to a specific element within a document.
	Before creating a hyperlink in the file,we first create a document to be hyperlinked.
Switch back to LibreOffice. Click on “New”.	So,click on the “New” icon in the toolbar. A new text document opens. Now we create a table for “Hobbies” in this new document.
Type “HOBBIES” Press Enter key. Type “Listening to music”, ”Playing table tennis” and “Painting” one below the other.	So we write the heading as “HOBBIES”. Press the Enter key. Now let us write few of the hobbies as “Listening to music”, ”Playing table tennis” and “Painting” one below the other.
Click on “Save” Type “HOBBY” in the “Name” field Click on down arrow in “Save in folder”->click on “Desktop” Click on “Save”	Let us save this file. Click on the “Save” icon in the toolbar. In the “Name” field,let us type the file name as “hobby”. Click on the down arrow in the “Save in folder” and click on the “Desktop” option. Now click on the “Save” button.
Close the file. Open resume.odt	So the file gets saved on the desktop. We close this file now. Let us now create a hyperlink in the file “resume.odt” which would open this document.
Type “HOBBIES” below the educational details table. Select “HOBBIES”	Now we write the heading as “HOBBIES” below the table containing educational details. In order to make the text “HOBBIES” as hyperlink, first select the text by dragging the cursor along the heading, “HOBBIES”.
Click on “Insert”->click on “Hyperlink”.	Now click on the “Insert” menu in the menubar and then click on the “Hyperlink” option.
Point to “Internet”, ”Mails and news”, “Document”, ”New Document”. Click on “Document” option.	A dialog box opens which has options like “Internet”,”Mails and news”,”Document” and “New Document”. Since we are creating a hyperlink for a text document,we click on the “Document” option.
Click on “Open file” in the “Path” field.	Now click on the “Open file” button in the “Path” field .
Click on “Desktop”	Let us now click on the “Desktop” option in the dialog box to access the new document which we had created.
Click on “hobby.odt”->click on “Open”	Now click on the “hobby.odt” option and then click on the “Open” button.
Point to “Path”	You see that the path to the file gets inserted in the “Path” field.
Click on “Apply”->click on “Close” Point to “HOBBIES” as hyperlink.	Click on the “Apply” field and then click on the “Close” button. You see that the text “HOBBIES” is underlined and is blue in color. Hence the text is now a hyperlink.
