Time	Narration
00:01	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Inserting Text in Drawings in LibreOffice Draw.
00:07	In this tutorial, we will learn how to:
00:10	Work with text in drawings
00:12	Format text in drawings and
00:15	Work with text boxes
00:17	We will also learn to:
00:19	Set indents, space and align text
00:22	Add text to Lines and Arrows
00:26	Place text within Callouts.
00:29	Text can be added in two ways:
00:31	It can be directly inserted into a drawn object,
00:35	Including on lines and arrows.
00:37	It can be inserted into a text box as an independent Draw object.
00:42	Here we are using
00:44	Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00:52	Let us open the Draw file “Water Cycle” and add some text to it.
00:57	We shall add the text “Cloud Formation” to the two white clouds next to the sun.
01:04	Select the white cloud group.
01:06	Double-click on it in order to enter the group.
01:10	Let us select the top cloud.
01:13	Now let’s select the Text tool from the Drawing toolbar.
01:17	Can you see the cursor has transformed into a small vertical blinking line?
01:23	This is the text cursor.
01:25	Let us type the text “Cloud Formation”.
01:29	Now click anywhere on the page
01:33	Let us enter the same text for the other white cloud, too.
01:37	To exit the group, double-click anywhere on the page.
01:42	Let us now name the sun in the same way.
01:45	Entering text in objects cannot get simpler than this!
01:50	Next, let us select the gray cloud group.
01:53	As before, double-click on it to enter the group.
01:57	Type “Rain Cloud” in each cloud.
02:02	As the text in the gray clouds is black in color, it is not visible.
02:07	So let us change the color of the text to white.
02:11	Select the text and right-click for the context menu and select “Character”.
02:17	The “Character” dialog box is displayed.
02:20	Click on the “Font Effects” tab.
02:23	In “Font color” field, scroll down and select “White”.
02:28	Click OK.
02:30	The font color changes to white.
02:33	In the same manner, let’s change the text color of the second cloud.
02:38	Select the text and right-click then select “Character”.
02:43	In “Font color” choose “White”.
02:46	Double-click anywhere on the page to exit group.
02:50	Similarly, let’s type the word “Mountain” in the triangle that depicts the mountain.
02:58	You can format text for
02:59	Character, that is change font styles and give special effects to fonts.
03:05	You can also format text for Paragraph, that is align text, set indents or spacing and set tab positions.
03:13	You can access these dialog boxes either
03:16	from the Context menu or
03:18	from the Main menu.
03:21	To access the Character dialog box from the Main menu, select Format and select Character.
03:28	To access the Paragraph dialog box from the Main menu, select Format and select Paragraph.
03:36	In the rectangle, let’s draw a thick black line to show where the ground water accumulates.
03:43	From the Drawing tool bar, select “Line”.
03:46	Move the cursor to the page, press the left-mouse button and drag from left to right.
03:54	Draw a horizontal line that will divide the rectangle into two equal halves.
04:01	The ground is divided into two!
04:04	Now, let’s make the line wider.
04:07	Select the line and right-click for the context menu.
04:11	Click on “Line”. The “Line” dialog box appears.
04:16	In the “Style” field, click the drop down box.
04:20	Select “Ultrafine 2 dots 3 dashes”.
04:24	In the Width field, enter the value point .70.
04:29	click OK.
04:31	We have widened the line!
04:34	Lets insert the text “Ground water table” inside the rectangle.
04:39	First, let’s select the Text tool.
04:42	This is the capital “T” option on the Drawing toolbar.
04:46	Move to the draw page.
04:49	Now the cursor has been transformed into a Plus sign with a small capital I beneath it.
04:55	Click inside the rectangle.
04:57	Observe that a text box appears.
05:01	Here, let's type “Ground water table”.
05:05	To align the text to the centre of the text-box, place the cursor inside the text box.
05:12	Click on “Centered” icon in the Standard toolbar at the top.
05:19	In a similar manner, let’s add the text
05:22	“Rain water flows from land into rivers and sea” 'in the triangle.
05:30	Pause this tutorial for the assignment.
05:33	Draw a square.
05:35	Insert the text “This is a square.
05:38	A square has four equal sides and four equal angles. Each angle in a square is ninety degrees.
05:46	The square is a quadrilateral.”
05:50	Format this text using the options in the Text dialog box.
05:54	Apply the font, size, style and alignment options to the text.
06:00	Now let’s arrange the arrows in the diagram.
06:03	These arrows show evaporation of water from land, vegetation and water bodies to the clouds.
06:12	Let’s select the left-most arrow.
06:14	Now click and drag towards the mountain.
06:18	Let’s select the middle arrow.
06:21	Now click and drag towards the trees.
06:25	The third arrow shows evaporation of water from water to the clouds.
06:31	Let’s use the option Curve to draw a line that shows water running down the mountains.
06:37	From the Drawing toolbar click on “Curve” and select “Freeform Line”.
06:43	On the draw page place the cursor next to the Mountain.
06:47	Press the left mouse button and drag down.
06:51	You have drawn a curved line!
06:53	Now let’s add descriptions to each of these arrows.
06:58	Select the first arrow to the right and simply type “Evaporation from rivers and seas”.
07:06	Click anywhere on the page.
07:08	The text appears on the line.
07:12	Notice that the text is placed exactly on the line and hence it is not clear.
07:18	To move the text above the line, click on the line.
07:22	Text is placed horizontally.
07:25	Place the cursor at the end of the text and press the “Enter” key.
07:30	Click on the page.
07:32	The text gets aligned.
07:35	Text typed on lines and arrows can also be formatted using options from the context menu.
07:41	Let’s format the font size using the context menu.
07:45	Click on the text
07:47	“Evaporation from rivers and seas”.
07:50	The text is now horizontal.
07:53	Let’s select the text and right-click to view the context menu.
07:58	Select Size and click 22.
08:02	The size of the font has changed.
08:05	Now, let’s type the following text for all the other arrows.
08:09	Evaporation from soil
08:12	Evaporation from vegetation
08:17	Run off water from the mountains
08:22	Let’s show rain falling from the grey clouds.
08:26	To show rain, let’s draw dotted arrows, which point downward from the cloud.
08:32	From the Drawing toolbar, select “Line Ends with Arrow”.
08:37	Then place the cursor on the first grey cloud to the left.
08:42	Press the left mouse button and drag it down.
08:46	RIght-click for the context menu and click “Line”.
08:50	The “Line” dialog box appears.
08:53	Click on the “Style” drop-down list and select
08:56	2 dots 1 dash'.
08:58	Click OK.
09:00	We have drawn a dotted arrow.
09:02	Let’s copy and paste two more arrows for this cloud.
09:06	Now let’s copy and paste two arrows to the other cloud.
09:12	Now let’s add the text “Rain” to the dotted arrows.
09:21	Let’s type the text “Evaporation to form the clouds” in a text box just above the Water object.
09:28	From the Drawing toolbar, select the Text tool and draw a text box as shown.
09:35	Type “Evaporation to form the clouds” inside it.
09:41	From the Drawing toolbar, select the " Text Tool".
09:44	And draw a text box next to the grey clouds.
09:48	Type “Condensation to form rain” inside it.
09:53	Move the text box by first clicking on the border of the text box.
09:57	Now drag and drop it in the desired location.
10:02	Following the previous steps, let’s give the Title “WaterCycle Diagram”
10:07	Using a text box and format the text in Bold.
10:16	We have completed drawing the Water Cycle diagram!
10:20	Now, let’s learn about Callouts.
10:22	What are Callouts?
10:24	They are special text boxes that call your attention to or
10:29	point to an object or a location in the Draw page.
10:33	Most comic books, for example, have
10:36	text placed inside Callouts.
10:39	Let’s add a new page to the Draw file.
10:42	From Main menu, select Insert and click on Slide.
10:47	A new page is inserted.
10:50	To draw a Callout, go to the Drawing toolbar.
10:54	Click the small black triangle next to the Callout icon.
10:59	Various Callouts are displayed.
11:01	Let’s click on Rectangular Callout.
11:04	Move the cursor to the page, press the left-mouse button and drag.
11:10	You have drawn a Callout.
11:12	You can enter text inside the Callout just as you did for the other objects.
