Time	Narration
00.01	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Common Editing and Printing Functions in LibreOffice Draw.
00.08	In this tutorial, you will learn how to:
00.10	Set margins for the Draw page
00.13	Insert page numbers, date and time
00.16	Undo and Redo actions
00.18	Rename a page
00.20	And print a page
00.22	Here we are using Ubuntu Linux version 10.04 and LibreOffice Suite version 3.3.4.
00.33	Let’s open the file WaterCycle and select the page that has the WaterCycle diagram.
00.40	Let’s set Page Margins for this drawing.
00.44	Why are Page Margins necessary?
00.46	Page Margins determine the space within which the objects will be placed inside a page.
00.43	For example, we may need to print the drawing and file it.
00.57	Margins ensure that there is adequate space on the sides,
01.01	so that a part of the figure is not cut or hidden when we print it.
01.07	Let’s set Page Margins and then print the WaterCycle drawing.
01.11	Let’s say the paper size that we will use to print this diagram, is not the standard size.
01.18	It has a Width of 20 cms and a Height of 20 cms.
01.23	It also requires a Bottom margin of 1.5 cms.
01.29	To set these measurements, from the Main menu, select Format and click Page.
01.35	The Page Setup dialog box appears.
01.38	Select the Page tab.
01.41	In the Width field, enter the value “20” and in the Height field “20”.
01.47	Under Margins, in the Bottom field, enter 1.5.
01.54	To the right, you will see a preview of the Draw page.
01.58	This preview displays the changes made to the Draw page.
02.02	Click OK.
02.04	How does the drawing look?
02.06	It spills out of the page!
02.08	This also means that a part of the drawing will be lost when it is printed.
02.14	You must ensure that:
02.15	The drawings are always within the margins.
02.18	When you draw no part of the Drawing spills out of the margin.
02.23	Therefore, it is a good practice to set up the page margins before you begin your drawing.
02.29	Again, from the Main menu, select Format and click Page.
02.35	The Page Setup dialog box appears.
02.38	Click on the Page tab.
02.40	Click the Format drop-down list and select A4.
02.45	This is the original margin that we had set.
02.48	Click OK.
02.52	The drawing is placed within the margins.
02.55	You can also access the Page setup dialog box from the Draw page,
03.00	By right-clicking on the page and using the Context menu.
03.05	Let’s click Cancel and exit the dialog box.
03.09	Now, let us insert page numbers, date, time and the author’s name.
03.15	Let us select the page with the WaterCycle diagram and insert a page number.
03.21	Go to the Main menu, select Insert and click Fields.
03.27	The list of Fields is displayed.
03.31	Fields contain values that are automatically generated by Draw.
03.35	We simply have to insert a Field and the value generated by Draw.
03.41	Let us click on Page number.
03.43	A text box with the number 1 is inserted on the Draw page.
03.48	Let’s adjust the size of this text box and make it a little smaller.
03.55	Now, let us drag the box and place it at the bottom right corner of the page.
04.01	To move the number box smoothly, select the number box and press the Shift key.
04.07	Now let’s move it further down.
04.11	Let’s check if the next number has been inserted on page two of this Draw file.
04.17	It does not have a page number!
04.20	The page number is inserted only in the page where we inserted the field!
04.26	Now let’s learn how to change the page number format.
04.30	From the Main menu, click on Format and select Page.
04.36	The Page Setup dialog box appears.
04.39	Click on the Page tab.
04.41	Under the Layout settings, select Format.
04.45	From the drop-down list select a,b,c.
04.49	Click OK.
04.52	The page numbering has changed from 1, 2, 3 to a, b, c.
04.58	Likewise, you can change it to any format.
05.01	Let’s learn how to insert Date and Time fields.
05.05	You can also insert Date and Time stamps on your Draw page.
05.10	You can do so by clicking on Insert and Fields.
05.14	One is Date (fixed) and Time (fixed).
05.18	The other is Date (variable) and Time (variable).
05.23	The Date (fixed) and Time (fixed) options insert the current date and time.
05.29	These date and time values will not be updated.
05.33	The Date (variable) and Time (variable) options on the other hand,
05.37	Are automatically updated as and when you open the file.
05.42	Let’s insert the Time (variable) here.
05.46	Now, let us drag the box and place it above the page number at the bottom right corner of the page.
05.56	The time inserted will be updated to the current time whenever you open the Draw page.
06.03	Let us now enter the name of the author who has created this file.
06.08	Here, we shall setup the author’s name, on page one, as “Teacher. A. B.”
06.17	So let’s go to Page one.
06.19	Go to the Main menu, select Tools and click Options.
06.24	The Options dialog box appears.
06.27	In the Options dialog box, click on LibreOffice, and then click on User Data.
06.34	On the right side of the dialog box, you can enter the user data information.
06.40	You can enter the details here as per your requirements.
06.44	In the First/Last Name/Initials, let’s enter the text Teacher, A, and B respectively.
06.53	Click OK.
06.55	Now, from the Main menu, click Insert, select Fields and click Author.
07.02	The name Teacher A B is inserted in a text-box.
07.07	Let’s drag this box and place it just above the Time field at the bottom right corner of the Draw page.
07.15	Now, what if we want to remove the fields we inserted in the Draw page?
07.21	Simply select the text box and press Delete key.
07.25	Let’s delete the field Author Name.
07.28	And what if we want to undo this action?
07.31	Simple, you can undo any action by pressing CTRL and Z keys together.
07.38	The action that was last executed, that is, the deletion of the Author field, is undone.
07.45	field is visible again.
07.48	We can undo or redo actions from the Main menu too.
07.53	From the Main menu, select Edit and click Redo.
07.57	The Author’s name is no longer visible!
08.00	Let’s press the CTRL+Z keys and undo all the field insertions we made.
08.06	You can also use short cut keys from the key board for the undo and redo commands.
08.13	Press the CTRL and Z keys together to undo an action.
08.18	Press the CTRL and Y keys together to redo an action.
08.23	Pause this tutorial and do this assignment.
08.26	Change the Author’s name and Save it.
08.29	Now add two more arrows to the page.
08.33	Insert a page number and date on page two.
08.38	Now undo and redo the last five actions.
08.42	Check if the Undo and Redo options undo all the actions or if some actions cannot be undone.
08.51	Let’s name this page “WaterCycleSlide”.
08.54	Select the slide in the Pages pane,right-click and select Rename Page.
09.00	The Rename Slide dialog box appears.
09.03	In the Name field, let us enter the name WaterCycleSlide”.
09.08	Click OK.
09.10	Now, let’s place the cursor over this page.
09.14	Can you see the name “WaterCycleSlide” displayed here?
09.18	It is a good practice to assign a name that is relevant to the page.
09.23	Now, let’s set printing options and print the WaterCycle diagram.
09.28	In the Main menu, click File then click Print.
09.33	The Print dialog box appears.
09.36	To know about the settings under General and Options tabs,
09.41	Please see the tutorial on Viewing and printing Documents in the LibreOffice Writer series.
09.48	On the left side you will see the page preview area.
09.53	The right side of the “Print” dialog box comprises four tabs:
