Study Notes

  • Styles are pre-defined formatting attributes for consistent formatting in digital documents.
  • Advantages of using styles: document consistency, formatting efficiency, flexibility in making changes, and improved accessibility.

Style Categories in LibreOffice Writer

  • Page styles define basic page layout (size, margins, headers/footers, footnotes, borders, and backgrounds).

  • Paragraph styles format paragraphs, including tab stops, text alignment, line spacing, and borders.

  • Character styles format blocks of letters and words, changing text color, size, and highlighting.

  • Frame styles organize documents in sections with different appearances, including size, position, borders, and text placement.

  • List styles format lists with numbering or bullets and specify numeric formats.

  • Table styles format tables by adding borders, using text/border colors, aligning text, and having different patterns/colors.

  • The Fill Format option applies a style to words in separate locations in the document.

  • Steps to load styles from a template: click Load Style in the style menu, select the document and click OK to copy the style.

  • Styles can be modified by loading/copying from another document/template or updating a style from a selection.

  • Styles can be created by copying from an existing style. The new style will only be applied to this document and not be saved in the template.

  • Styles can also be created by dragging and dropping a text selection into the Styles and Formatting window.

Inserting Images in a Text Document

  • Methods for inserting images: drag and drop, copy and paste, and linking.

  • Inserting an image by linking saves the image reference, reducing document size, especially when multiple copies of the same image are required.

Graphic Filters

  • Invert filter changes colors in color images and gives brightness in grayscale images.

  • Solarization filter increases the effects of excessive light.

  • Posterize filter reduces the number of colors, like a painting.

  • Charcoal filter displays the image as a charcoal sketch.

  • Mosaic filter combines groupings of pixels into a single-color area.

  • Resizing an image reduces or enlarges its size, often by dragging the sizing handles.

  • Image cropping removes unwanted parts, keeping a specific portion of the image.

  • Keep scale maintains the image’s scale when cropping; this is enabled by default

  • Keep image size maintains the image size when cropping, enlarging, shrinking, or distorting the image.

  • Grouping objects allows different shapes to behave as a single entity without affecting size and position.

  • Arrangement determines the position of an object relative to other objects or text (e.g., Bring to Front, Send to Back).

  • Anchoring attaches or links an object to a specific position (page, paragraph, character, or frame).

  • Alignment places the image vertically or horizontally with respect to its anchor, with six different styles (3 horizontal, 3 vertical).

  • Text wrapping places an image in relation to text using options like Wrap Off, Page Wrap, Optimal Page Wrap, Wrap Left, Wrap Right, and Wrap Through.

Table of Contents (ToC)

  • An automated table with hyperlinked headings and subheadings from the document.

  • Elements used in the table of content include:

    • E# indicates chapter number
    • E represents the entry text.
    • T represents the tab stop
    • LS represents the start of a hyperlink.
    • LE represents the end of a hyperlink.

  • Hierarchy of Headings in ToC: LibreOffice Writer supports up to 10 heading levels (H1 to H10) for creating an automatic table of contents.

Templates

  • A template is a preset layout for easily creating professional/formal documents with text, graphics, style, and design.

  • Advantages of templates: easier document creation, saves styling time, and helps maintain audience interest.

  • Track Changes records all changes made in the original document, which the original author can accept or reject.

  • Comparing documents allows you to compare the original document with the reviewed document to select the best option.
