System Requirements |
To record this tutorial, I am using: Orca screen reader on Ubuntu 12.04 Operating System. Libre office 6 tutorials in the first time with Orca section. |
Start Orca | Press alt + f2 to get to the run dialog and entering Orca. |
Go to applications menu
| |
hit enter.
| |
Actually, Orca did tell us that the document is called Untitled1.
| |
Formatting in Libre office | Suppose we are writing report on Orca screen reader. |
Lets see how text can be aligned in the document.
Text for a title is mostly in bold letters. | |
So let's do it for our document as well.
As you heard, Orca responded by saying "centered on". Similarly you can press control + r for right alignment, control + L for left alignment and control + j for justified. | |
Note that this is a keyboard shortcut for the word processor and not an Orca command.
| |
| |
Lets write "Orca, a FOSS based screen reader"
Hit enter 2 times to create some blank space. Now we are going to write the actual content. | |
Let's shift to left alignment.
Press Control + l. You heard Orca telling us that the center alignment mode is off and now the text we type will be aligned left. | |
"Orca is a screen reader for GNU/Linux based desktop. Just like the Operating System, Orca is also free. It comes bundled with most Distributions of GNU/Linux such as Ubuntu, Fedora and Debian."
| |
Now what if we want to confirm our text formatting and alignment?
Well, Orca has a keyboard command for this too. | |
Let's try asking Orca to tell us the format of our heading.
Press up arrow till you hear our first line that says "Orca, a FOSS based screen reader". | |
To be on the safer side, Press the Home key to be at the start of line.
Wow, so Orca tells us that the current word in focus is aligned center, The size of the text is 12 point and that it is bold. | |
Increase the font size of this line to make it look more evident.
Let's see how Orca assists us to accomplish this task. | |
Go through the tutorial on cut, copy and paste with orca

Now press the popup button on your computer.
