00:00 | Welcome to the Spoken tutorial on LibreOffice Writer - Headers, Footers and Endnotes. |
00:07 | In this tutorial, we will learn: |
00:09 | * How to insert headers in documents. |
00:12 | * How to insert footers in documents. |
00:15 | * How to remove headers from the first page. |
00:19 | * How to insert footnote and endnote in documents. |
00:24 | Here, we are using:
|
00:33 | LibreOffice Writer allows you to add page numbers to a document. |
00:38 | We shall open our 'resume.odt' file. |
00:42 | To insert page numbers in the footer, we first click on the page where we want to insert the footer. |
00:49 | So, let's click on the document page. |
00:51 | Now click on the Insert option in the menu bar and then click on the Footer option. |
00:58 | Next, click on the Default option. |
01:01 | We see that a footer is added at the bottom of the page. |
01:06 | To display the page number in the footer, we shall first click on the Insert option. |
01:12 | Then click on the Fields option. |
01:15 | You can see several footer options are displayed here. |
01;19 | Click on the Page Number to insert the page number in the document. |
01:24 | Immediately, we see that the number 1 is displayed in the footer. |
01:29 | In order to give different styles to the page number, double-click on the page number. |
01:35 | We see that the Edit Fields: Document dialog-box appears on the screen. |
01:41 | Under the Format option, you see many formats like A B C in uppercase, a b c in lowercase,Arabic 1 2 3 and many more. |
01:53 | Here, you can choose the page numbering style that you prefer. |
01:58 | We will choose Roman i, ii, iii option and then click on the OK button. |
02:05 | You see that the numbering format changes for the page. |
02:09 | Similarly, we can insert a header into the document. |
02:13 | First, click on the page where the header should be inserted. |
02:17 | Now, click on the Insert menu and then click on the Header option. |
02;23 | Click on the Default option. |
02:26 | You see that a header gets inserted at the top of the page |
02:30 | In order to enter the date in the header, click on Insert and then click on Fields option. |
02:37 | In the side menu which appears, click on the Date option. |
02:42 | The date is displayed in the header. |
02:45 | Double-clicking on the date shows all the possible formats in which the date can be displayed. |
02:51 | Here, we will choose 31 Dec, 1999 and click on OK. |
02:58 | Now click on the File menu in the menu bar and then click on the Page preview option. |
03:05 | Let us zoom the document to 50%. |
03:09 | So, we can see the Date at the top of the page and the page number at the bottom. |
03:15 | This will be replicated on all the pages of the document. |
03:19 | To get back to the original document, click on the Close Preview button. |
03:25 | You can also adjust the spacing of the text relative to the header or footer frame. |
03:30 | Or, apply a border to the header or footer. |
03:34 | Click on the Format option in the menu bar and then click on Page. |
03:40 | Select the Footer tab in the dialog-box. |
03:43 | Set the Spacing options that you want to use, by setting the value of the Left margin to 1.00cm. |
03:52 | To add a border or a shadow to the footer, click on the More option first and then set the value of the options you want to put into the footer. |
04:03 | For example , to put a Shadow style to the footer, we click on the Cast Shadow to Top Right icon. |
04:10 | This is visible here - among the various icons available under the Position tab of the Shadow style option. |
04:18 | You can choose the colour of the border and the shadow as well. |
04:23 | Explore this dialog-box to know more about each of the available options. |
04:28 | Now click on the OK. |
04:30 | Again click on OK and we see that the effect is added to the footer. |
04;36 | Let's add another page to our document before proceeding further. |
04:41 | This is done by clicking Insert >> Manual Break and choosing the Page break option. |
04:47 | Then click on OK |
04:50 | Notice that the page number is displayed as 2. |
04:54 | If you don’t want a footer on the first page of the document then first- place the cursor on the first page. |
05:01 | Next, click on Format in the menu bar and click on the Styles and Formatting option. |
05:08 | Now, in the dialog-box which appears, click on the 4th icon at the top which is Page Styles. |
05:16 | Then right-click on the First Page option. |
05:20 | Click on the New option and then click on the Organiser tab. |
05:25 | In the Name field, we can type the name of the new style we wish to insert. |
04:30 | So here, we will type the name as new first page. |
05:35 | Set Next Style as Default. |
05:38 | Now, click on the Footer tab in the dialog-box. |
05:42 | Uncheck the Footer on check-box, if it is not unchecked by default. |
05:48 | Finally, click on the OK button. |
05:51 | We are back to the Styles and Formatting dialog-box. |
05:55 | Notice that new first page style appears under the Page Styles options. |
06:01 | Now, double-click on the new first page. |
06:04 | You see that there is footer on all the pages of the document except the first page. |
06:11 | Likewise, you can do modifications on all the available default styles and apply them on each page of the document. |
06:19 | Let's close this dialog-box. |
06:22 | Now, let's learn about footnotes and endnotes in LibreOffice Writer. |
06:27 | Footnotes appear at the bottom of the page on which they are referenced |
06:31 | whereas Endnotes are collected at the end of a document. |
06:35 | The anchor for the note is inserted at the current cursor position. |
06:40 | You can choose between automatic numbering or a custom symbol. |
06:45 | To access this option, first click on the Insert option in the menu bar. |
06:51 | Then click on the Footnote/Endnote option. |
06:55 | You see that a dialog-box appears on the screen with headings named Numbering and Type. |
07:02 | There are check-boxes namely- Automatic, Character, Footnote and Endnote. |
07:08 | Numbering allows you to select the type of numbering that you want to use for footnotes and endnotes. |
07:15 | The Automatic option automatically assigns consecutive numbers to the footnotes or endnotes that you insert. |
07:24 | Let's close this dialog-box. |
07:26 | To change the settings for automatic numbering, click on the Tools option in the menu bar. |
07:33 | And then click on Footnotes/Endnotes. |
07:37 | You have a choice of automatic settings for AutoNumbering and Styles. |
07:42 | Choose from these options as per your requirement and then click on the OK button. |
07:49 | Let's go back to Insert and Footnote/Endnote option. |
07:54 | The Character option is used to define a character or symbol for the current footnote. |
08:00 | This can be either a letter or number. |
08:03 | To assign a special character, click on the button below the character field. |
08:09 | Now, click on any of the special characters you want to insert and then click on the OK button. |
08:17 | Click on either Footnote or Endnote option under the Type heading to specify our choice. |
08:24 | So, we will select Automatic under Numbering and Footnote under Type. |
08:29 | Now, click on the OK button. |
08:32 | You see that a footnote field appears at the bottom of the page with default numerical value. |
08:39 | You can write the text "This is the end of first page" in the footnote field |
08:45 | and then press the Enter button on the keyboard. |
08:48 | You can see the required footnote along with the text at the bottom of the page. |
08:55 | Likewise, you can insert an endnote at the bottom of the document. |
