UNIT 1: DIGITAL DOCUMENTATION (ADVANCED)

1. CREATE AND APPLY STYLES IN THE DOCUMENT

A style is a set of formats that you can apply to selected pages, text, frames, and other
elements in your document to quickly change their appearance. When you apply a style,
you apply a whole group of formats at the same time.
Styles are logical attributes. Using styles means that you stop saying “font size 14pt,
Times New Roman, bold, centered”, and you start saying “Title” because you have defined
the “Title” style to have those characteristics. In other words, styles mean that you shift the
emphasis from what the text (or page, or other element) looks like, to what the text is.
Styles help improve consistency in a document. They also make major formatting changes
easy. For example, you may decide to change the indentation of all paragraphs, or change
the font of all titles. For a long document, this simple task can be prohibitive. Styles make
the task easy.
OpenOffice.org supports the following types of styles:
 • Page styles include margins, headers and footers, borders and backgrounds. In
Calc, page styles also include the sequence for printing sheets.
• Paragraph styles control all aspects of a paragraph’s appearance, such as text
alignment, tab stops, line spacing, and borders, and can include character
formatting.
• Character styles affect selected text within a paragraph, such as the font and size
of text, or bold and italic formats.
• Frame styles are used to format graphic and text frames, including wrapping type,
borders, backgrounds, and columns.
• Numbering styles apply similar alignment, numbering or bullet characters, and fonts
to numbered or bulleted lists.
• Cell styles include fonts, alignment, borders, background, number formats (for
example, currency, date, number), and cell protection.
• Graphics styles in drawings and presentations include line, area, shadowing,
transparency, font, connectors, dimensioning, and other attributes.
• Presentation styles include attributes for font, indents, spacing, alignment, and
tabs.

Applying styles
OpenOffice.org provides several ways for you to select styles to apply.

 Using the Styles and Formatting window

1) Click the Styles and Formatting icon located at the left-hand end of the object
bar, or click Format > Styles and Formatting, or press F11. The Styles and
Formatting window shows the types of styles available for the OOo
(OpenOffice.org) component you are using. Figure 1 shows the window for Writer,
with Page Styles visible.
You can move this window to a convenient position on the screen or dock it to an
edge (hold down the Ctrl key and drag it by the title bar to where you want it
docked).
2) Click on one of the icons at the top left of the Styles and Formatting window to
display a list of styles in a particular category.
3) To apply an existing style (except for character styles), position the insertion point
in the paragraph, frame, or page, and then double-click on the name of the style in
one of these lists. To apply a character style, select the characters first.
 At the bottom of the Styles and Formatting window is a dropdown list. In
Figure 1 the window shows Automatic, meaning the list includes only
Tip styles applied automatically by OOo(OpenOffice.org). You can choose
to show all styles or other groups of styles, for example only custom
styles.

Figure 1: The Styles and Formatting window for Writer, showing paragraph styles

 Using Fill Format mode

Fill format mode is used to apply a style to many different areas quickly without
having to go back to the Styles and Formatting window and double-click every time.
This method is quite useful when you need to format many scattered paragraphs,
cells, or other items with the same style.
1) Open the Styles and Formatting window and select the style you want to
apply.

2) Click the Fill Format mode icon .

3) To apply a paragraph, page, or frame style, hover the mouse over the
paragraph, page, or frame and click. To apply a character style, hold down the
mouse button while selecting the characters, clicking on a word applies the
character style for that word. Repeat step 3 until you made all the changes for
that style.
4) To quit Fill Format mode, click the Fill Format mode icon again or press the
Esc key.

Caution When this mode is active, a right-click anywhere in the document

undoes the last Fill Format action. Be careful not to accidentally right-
click and thus undo actions you want to keep.
Creating new (custom) styles
You may want to add some new styles. You can do this in two ways:

 Creating a new style from a selection

You can create a new style by copying an existing manual format. This new style
applies only to this document; it will not be saved in the template.
1. Open the Styles and Formatting window and choose the type of style you
want to create.
2. In the document, select the item you want to save as a style.
3. In the Styles and Formatting window, click on the New Style from Selection
icon (refer Figure 2).
4.
5. In the Create Style dialog, type a name for the new style. The list shows the
names of existing custom styles of the selected type. Click OK to save the new
style.

Figure 2: Naming a new style created from a selection

 Dragging and dropping to create a style

You can drag and drop a text selection into the Styles and Formatting window to create
a new style.
Select some text and drag it to the Styles and Formatting window. If Paragraph Styles
are active, the paragraph style will be added to the list. If Character Styles are active,
the character style will be added to the list.

Modifying styles
OpenOffice.org provides several ways to modify styles (both the predefined styles and
custom styles that you create):
• Updating a style from a selection
• Load or copy styles from another document or template
 Any changes you make to a style are effective only in the current
Tip document. To change styles in more than one document, you need to
change the template or copy the styles into the other documents.

 Updating a style from a selection

To update a style from a selection:
1. Open the Styles and Formatting window.
2. In the document, select an item that has the format you want to adopt as a
style.
Caution Make sure that there are unique properties in this paragraph. For
example, if there are two different font sizes or font styles, that
particular property will remain the same as before.
3. In the Styles and Formatting window, select the style you want to update
(single-click, not double-click), then long-click on the arrow next to the New
Style from Selection icon and click on Update Style(Refer Figure 3).

Figure 3: Updating a style from a selection

 Loading styles from a template or document

You can copy styles by loading them from a template or another document:
1. Open the document you want to copy styles into.
2. In the Styles and Formatting window, long-click on the arrow next to the New
Style from Selection icon, and then click on Load Styles.
3. On the Load Styles dialog (Figure 4), find and select the template you want
to copy styles from.
 Figure 4. Copying styles from a template into the open document

4. Select the categories of styles to be copied. Select Overwrite if you want the
styles being copied to replace any styles of the same names in the document
you are copying them into.
5. Click OK to copy the styles. You will not see any change on screen.

To copy the styles from another document, click the From File button
Note
to open a window from which you can select the required document.

If your document has a table of contents, and if you have used custom
Caution styles for headings, the heading levels associated with outline levels (in
Tools > Outline Numbering) will revert to the defaults of Heading 1,
Heading 2, and so on when you load styles this way. You will need to
change these back to your custom heading styles. This is a bug.
2. INSERT AND USE IMAGES
Images can be added to a document in several ways: by inserting an image file, directly
from a graphics program or a scanner, or from the OOo Gallery.

Inserting an image file

When the image is in a file stored on the computer, you can insert it into an OOo
document using either of the following methods:

 Drag and drop

1. Open a file browser window and locate the image you want to insert.
2. Drag the image into the Writer document and drop it where you want it to
appear. A faint vertical line marks where the image will be dropped.
This method embeds (saves a copy of) the image file in the Writer document. To link
the file instead of embedding it, hold down the Control+Shift keys while dragging the
image.

 Insert Picture dialog

1. Click in the OOo document where you want the image to appear.
2. Choose Insert > Picture > From File from the menu bar.
3. On the Insert Picture dialog (see Figure 5), navigate to the file to be inserted,
select it, and click Open.
At the bottom of the dialog are two options, Preview and Link. Select Preview to
view a thumbnail of the selected image on the right, so you can verify that you have
the correct file. See below for the use of Link.
Figure 5. Insert picture dialog

 Inserting an image from the clipboard

Using the clipboard, you can copy images into an OOo document from another OOo
document and from other programs. To do this:
1. Open both the source document and the target document.
2. In the source document, select the image to be copied.
3. Move the mouse pointer over the selected image and press Control+C to copy
the image to the clipboard.
4. Switch to the target document.
5. Click to place the cursor where the graphic is to be inserted.
6. Press Control+Vto insert the image.

Caution If the application from which the graphic was copied is closed before the
graphic is pasted into the target, the image stored on the clipboard could
be lost.

 Inserting an image using a scanner

If a scanner is connected to your computer, OOo can call the scanning application and
inserted the scanned item into the OOo document as an image. To start this
procedure, click where you want the graphic to be inserted and select Insert > Picture
> Scan > Select Source.
Although this practice is quick and easy, it is unlikely to result in a high-quality image of
the correct size. You may get better results by scanned material into a graphics
program and cleaning it up there before inserting the resulting image into OOo.
  Inserting an image from the Gallery
The Gallery provides a convenient way to group reusable objects such as graphics and
sounds that you can insert into your documents. The Gallery is available in all
components of OOo. It does not come with many graphics, but you can add your own
pictures or find extensions containing more graphics. To insert a Gallery image into a
Writer document:

1. To open the Gallery, click on the Gallery icon (located in the right side of
the Standard toolbar) or choose Tools > Gallery from the menu bar.
2. Navigate through the Gallery to find the desired picture.
3. To insert the picture, click and drag it from the Gallery into the Writer
document. You can also right-click on the picture and choose Insert>Copy.
Figure 6 shows an example of an image dragged from the Gallery.

Figure 6. Inserting an image from the Gallery

By default, the Gallery is docked above the Writer workspace. To expand the
Gallery, position the pointer over the line that divides it from the top of the
workspace. When the pointer changes to parallel lines with arrows, click and drag
downward. The workspace resizes in response.
To expand the Gallery without affecting the workspace, undock it so it floats over
the workspace. To do so, hold down the Control key and double-click on the upper
part of the Gallery next to the View icons. Double-click in the same area while
holding down the Control key to dock it again (restore it to its position over the
workspace).
 When the Gallery is docked, to hide it and view the full Writer workspace, click the
in the middle of the thin bar separating the Gallery from the workspace.
To close the Gallery, choose Tools > Gallery to uncheck the Gallery entry, or click
on the Gallery icon again.

Modifying an image
When you insert a new image, you may need to modify it to suit the document. Here we
will discuss the use of the Picture toolbar, resizing, cropping, and a workaround to rotate a
picture.

 Using the Picture toolbar

When you insert an image or select one already present in the document, the Picture
toolbar appears. You can set it to always be present (View > Toolbars > Picture).
Picture control buttons from the Picture toolbar can also be added to the Standard
Toolbar.
Two other toolbars can be opened from this one: the Graphic Filter toolbar, which can
be torn off and placed elsewhere on the window, and the Color toolbar, which opens as
a separate floating toolbar.
From these three toolbars, you can apply small corrections to the graphic or obtain
special effects.

Graphics mode
You can change color images to grayscale by selecting the image and then selecting
Grayscale from the Graphics mode list.

Flip vertically or horizontally

To flip an image vertically or horizontally, select the image, and then click the relevant
icon.

Filters
Table 1 provides a short description of the available filters, however the best way to
understand them is to see them in action. Feel free to experiment with the different
filters and filters settings, remembering that you can undo all the changes by pressing
Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace or by selecting Edit > Undo.

Color
Use this toolbar to modify the individual RGB color components of the image (red,
green, blue) as well as the brightness, contrast, and gamma of the image. If the result
is not satisfactory, you can press Control+Z to restore the default values.

number of colors used.

Pop Art Modifies the picture dramatically.

Charcoal Displays the image as a charcoal sketch.

A dialog box is displayed to adjust the light source that

Relief
will create the shadow and, hence, the relief effect.

Mosaic Joins groups of pixels into a single area of one color.

Transparency
Modify the percentage value in the Transparency box on the Picture toolbar to
make the image more transparent. This is particularly useful when creating a
watermark or when wrapping the image in the background.

 Using the formatting toolbar and Picture dialog

When an image is selected, you can customize some aspects of its appearance using
the tools available on the Formatting toolbar as well as in the dialog that is shown by
right-clicking on the image and selecting Picture. You can, for example, create a
border around the image, selecting style and color; or you can (in the Borders page of
the Picture dialog) add a shadow to the image.

 Cropping images
When you are only interested in a section of the image for the purpose of your
document, you may wish to crop (cut off) parts of it. To start cropping the image, right-
click on it and select Picture from the pop-up menu. In the Picture dialog box, select
the Crop page (see Figure 7).
Figure 7: The options available when cropping a picture

In the Crop page, you can control the following parameters:

 Keep scale / Keep image size
When Keep scale is selected (default), cropping the image does not change the
scale of the picture.
When Keep image size is selected, cropping produces enlargement (for
positive cropping values), shrinking (for negative cropping values), or distortion
of the image so that the image size remains constant.
 Left, Right, Top, and Bottom
The image is cropped by the amount entered in these boxes. For example, a
value of 3cm in the Left box cuts 3 cm from the left side of the picture.
• When Keep scale is selected, the size of the image also changes, so in this
example the width will be reduced by 3 cm.
• When Keep image size is selected, the remaining part of the image is
enlarged (when you enter positive values for cropping) or shrunk (when you
enter negative values for cropping) so that the width and height of the image
remains unchanged.
 Width and Height
The Width and Height fields under either Scale or Image size change as you
enter values in the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom fields. Use the thumbnail next to
these fields to determine the correct amount by which to crop.

 Resizing an image
The inserted image might not fit perfectly into the document if it is too big or too small. In
these cases, you can use Writer to resize the image.
1. Click the picture, if necessary, to show the green resizing handles.
2. Position the pointer over one of the green resizing handles. The pointer
changes shape giving a graphical representation of the direction of the resizing.
 3. Click and drag to resize the picture.
4. Release the mouse button when satisfied with the new size.
The corner handles resize both the width and the height of the graphic object
simultaneously, while the other four handles only resize one dimension at a time.

To retain the original proportions of the graphic, Shift+click one of the

Tip corner handles, then drag. Be sure to release the mouse button before
releasing the Shift key.
Be aware that re-sizing a bit-mapped (raster) image will adversely affect the resolution,
causing some degree of blurring. It is better to externally size your picture correctly before
insertion into your presentation, if possible.
Figure 8 shows three examples of an image inserted into a document and resized.

Figure 8. Three examples of resized images, plus the original image

For more accurate resizing, use either the Crop page of the Picture dialog box (Figure 7)
or, for images, the Type page of the Picture dialog box. On the Crop page you can adjust
the following settings:
 Scale Width and Height: specify in percentages the scaling of the picture. The size
of the image changes accordingly. For a scaled resizing, both values should be
identical.
• Image size: specify the size of the image in your preferred unit of measurement.
The image enlarges or shrinks accordingly.
• Original size button: when clicked, restores the image to its original size.
In the Type page of the Picture dialog box, select the Relative option to toggle between
percentage and actual dimension. For a scaled resizing, select the Keep ratio option. As
for the Crop page, clicking on the Original Size button restores the original image size.

 Rotating a picture
Writer does not provide a tool for rotating a picture; however, there is a simple
workaround:
1. Open a new Draw or Impress document (File > New > Drawing or File > New >
Presentation).
2. Insert the image you want to rotate. You can use any of the mechanisms
described in “Error! Reference source not found.” on page Error! Bookmark
not defined., although there are some slight variations in the position of the
menu entries and icons.
3. Select the image, then in the Drawing toolbar (shown by default at the bottom of
the window in Impress and Draw), select the Rotate icon from the Effects
tear-off toolbar .
4. Rotate the image as desired. Use the red handles at the corners of the picture
and move the mouse in the direction you wish to rotate. By default the picture
rotates around its center (indicated by a black crosshair), but you can change the
pivot point by moving the black crosshair to the desired rotation center.

To restrict the rotation angle to multiples of 15 degrees keep the Shift key
Tip
pressed while rotating the image.
5. Select the rotated picture by pressing Ctrl+A, then copy the image to the
clipboard with Ctrl+C.
6. Finish by going back to the location of the Writer document where the image is to
be inserted and pressing Ctrl+V.

Creating drawing objects

To begin using the drawing tools, display the Drawing toolbar (Figure 9), by clicking View
> Toolbars > Drawing.

Figure 9. The Drawing toolbar

To use a drawing tool:

1. Click in the document where you want the drawing to be anchored. You can
change the anchor later, if necessary.
2. Select the tool from the Drawing toolbar (Figure 7). The mouse pointer changes
to a drawing-functions pointer .
3. Move the cross-hair pointer to the place in the document where you want the
graphic to appear and then click-and-drag to create the drawing object. Release
the mouse button. The selected drawing function remains active, so you can draw
another object of the same type.

4. To cancel the selected drawing function, press the Esc key or click on the Select
icon (the arrow) on the Drawing toolbar.
5. You can now change the properties (fill color, line type and weight, anchoring, and
others) of the drawing object using either the Drawing Object Properties toolbar or
the choices and dialog boxes reached by right-clicking on the drawing object.

Set or change properties for drawing objects

To set the properties for a drawing object before you draw it:
1. On the Drawing toolbar (Figure 9), click the Select tool.
2. On the Drawing Object Properties toolbar (Figure 10), click on the icon for each
property and select the value you want for that property.
3. For more control, or to define new attributes, you can click on the Area or Line
icons on the toolbar to display detailed dialog boxes.
The default you set applies to the current document and session. It is not retained when
you close the document or close Writer, and it does not apply to any other document you
open. The defaults apply to all the drawing objects except text objects.

Figure 10. Drawing Object Properties toolbar

To change the properties for an existing drawing object:

1. Select the object.
2. Continue as described above.
You can also specify the position and size, rotation, and slant and corner radius properties
of the drawing object:
1. Right-click on the drawing object and then click Position and Size from the pop-up
menu. The Position and Size dialog box is displayed.
2. Choose any properties, as required.

Resizing a drawing object

The same considerations for resizing an image apply also to resizing an object. Select the
object, click on one of the eight handles around it and drag it to its new position. For a
scaled resizing, select one of the corner handles and keep the Shift key pressed while
dragging the handle to its new position.
For more sophisticated control of the size of the object, select Format > Object >
Position and Size from the menu bar. Use the Position and Size dialog box to set the
width and height independently. If the Keep ratio option is selected, then the two
dimensions change so that the proportion is maintained, allowing for a scaled resizing.

Grouping drawing objects

To group drawing objects:
1. Select one object, then hold down the Shift key and select the others you want to
include in the group. The bounding box expands to include all the selected objects.
2. With the objects selected, hover the mouse pointer over one of the objects and
choose Format > Group > Group from the menu bar or right-click and choose
Group > Group from the pop-up menu.

You cannot include an embedded or linked graphic in a group with

Note
drawing objects.
Positioning image/graphics within the text
When you add a graphic to a text document, you need to choose how to position it with
respect to the text and other graphics. The positioning of graphics is often rather time-
consuming and may be very frustrating for both inexperienced and experienced users. As
Writer is a word processor rather than a desktop publishing program, there are some
limitations to the flexibility in positioning images and it takes time to get things exactly as
you would like them.
Positioning of a graphic is controlled by four settings:
1. Arrangement refers to the placement of a graphic on an imaginary vertical axis.
Arrangement controls how graphics are stacked upon each other or relative to the
text.
2. Alignment refers to the vertical or horizontal placement of a graphic in relation to
the chosen anchor point.
3. Anchoring refers to the reference point for the graphics. This point could be the
page, or frame where the object is, a paragraph, or even a character. An image
always has an anchor point.
4. Text wrapping refers to the relation of graphics to the surrounding text, which may
wrap around the graphic on one or both sides, be overprinted behind or in front of
the graphic, or treat the graphic as a separate paragraph or character.
The settings can be accessed in a number of ways, depending on the nature of the
graphics:
1. From the Format menu, where you can find Alignment, Arrange, Wrap, and
Anchor (both for images and drawing objects).
2. From the pop-up menu displayed when you right-click on the graphic.
3. From the Object toolbar shown in Figure 11.
4. For images, from the Type and Wrapping pages of the Picture dialog box. Note
that you cannot control the arrangement using the dialog box. To open the Picture
dialog box, click on the image to select it and then choose Format > Picture or
right-click on the graphic and choose Picture on the pop-up menu.
5. For drawing objects, from the Position and Size page of the Position and Size
dialog box. To open the Position and Size dialog box, click on the drawing object
to select it and then choose Format > Object > Position and Size or right-click
on the graphic and choose Position and Size on the pop-up menu. Note that you
can only control the alignment and anchoring.

Working with tables in Open Office Writer
A table is a grid, an arrangement of rectangles, or cells, in rows and column. You can use
tables to format all or part of your document into columns and rows. You need tables
because they are the best way to organize graphics, columns, headings and rows.

Column-
A column is a grouping of cells that run from the top to the bottom of a page.

Rows-
Row is a grouping of cells that run from the left to right of a page.

Cell-
The intersection point between a row and a column is a cell.

Inserting a Table
1. Position the insertion point where you want the table to appear.
2. Choose Table ->Insert ->Table option. This will display the Insert Table
dialog box.

3. Enter the number of rows and columns for the table in the number of columns
and the number of row boxes.
Auto fit option in Table menu
1. Fixed Column width - You can set a precise width to be used by all the columns in
your table by clicking in the fixed column width scroll box and entering the value there.
2. Auto Fit to Contents- You can choose Auto fit to contents, which enables word to
widen columns based on the contents you insert in them i.e. Word adjusts the columns as
you type within the cells.
3. Auto Fit to window- You can choose Auto fit to window, which adjusts the width of
every cell based on the width of the screen of the individual viewing it. For example, if you
change your monitor for displaying at 640*480 to 800*600, your cells widen. This feature
works only with documents saved as Web Pages and viewed from within Word or a Web
Browser.
Entering Text into a table
To enter text into a table, simply type as you normally would after placing the insertion
point in required cell. Press Tab to move to the next cell.

Selecting a Row
1. Click anywhere in the first row of your table.
2. Choose Table>Select>Row from the menu.

Adding Images to a Table

1. Position the insertion point in any cell where you want the image to be added.
2. Click on the Clip art to select any image from there.
3. After selecting an image, click on Insert clip button to insert the image in that
particular area.

Inserting Rows, Columns and Cells

To insert a Column
1. Select the column beside where you want to insert a column,
2. Choose Table -> Insert from the menu.
3. Columns to the Left: Insert a column to the left of the currently selected column.
4. Columns to the Right: Insert a column to the right of the currently selected column.
To insert multiple columns, in step 1, select the same number of columns that you
 want to insert or repeat step 2 until the desired number of columns have been
inserted.

To insert a Row
1. Select the row above or below where you want to insert a row.
2. Choose Table ->Insert from the menu.
3. Rows Above: Inserts a row above the currently selected column.
4. Rows Below: Inserts a row below the currently selected column.
To insert a row at the bottom of the table, position the Insertion point in the last cell of the
table and press Tab. An empty row is inserted.
To insert multiple rows, in step 1, select the same number of rows that you want to insert
or repeat step 2 until the number of rows have been inserted.
To insert a Cell
1. Select a cell at the location where you want to
insert a cell.
2. Choose Table ->Insert ->Cells.
An Insert Cells dialog box is displayed.
Select desired option from the dialog box as
follows:
a) Shift cells right- Inserts a cell in the same row and moves the cells to its right.
b) Shift cells down - Inserts a cell in the same column and moves the cells below it
down.
c) Insert entire row- Inserts a row above the selected cell.
d) Insert entire column- Inserts a column to the left of the selected cell.
 3. Click OK button.
To delete Rows, columns or cells
Simply click one of the cells you want to delete, or select all the rows and columns you want to
delete. Then,
• To delete the column in which your insertion point is, Choose Table
>Delete >Column.
• To delete the row in which your insertion point is, Choose Table>Delete>Rows.
• To delete the entire table, Choose Table -->Delete-->Table.

If you delete a cell, choose an option in the Delete Cells dialog box that is shown above.
a) Shift Cells left- Deletes the cell and moves the cells to its right to the left.
b) Shift Cells up- Deletes the cell and moves the cells below it up.
c) Delete entire row- Deletes the row.
d) Delete entire column- Deletes the column.
Formatting Text in the cells
a. Click on the cell, which you want to format.
b. Select the text.
c. Click on Format -> Font.
Formatting images in the cells
1. Click on the cell where you want to change the formatting of the image.
2. Click on Format-> Format Picture.
Merging of Cells
Merging of cells means turning two or more cells
into one cell or combining two or more cells into
one cell.
● To merge cells/rows/columns, first select the
cells/rows/columns which you want to merge.
● Click on the Table ->Merge cells.

Splitting Of Cells
Splitting of cell means to split a cell into number of cells. For this you should have a table
already created. In order to split a cell into number of cells follow all these steps:

1. Place your cursor on the cell you want to split.

2. Click on Table ->Split cells
3. Enter number of columns and the number of rows you want to split into.
4. Press Enter or click on OK button.
