This book introduces the main components of LibreOffice:
Writer (word processing)

It also covers some of the features common to all components, including setup and customization,

individual components.
Where to get more help
This book, the other LibreOffice user guides, the built-in Help system, and user support systems
assume that you are familiar with your computer and basic functions such as starting a program,
opening and saving files.
Help system
LibreOffice comes with an extensive Help system. This is the first line of support for using
LibreOffice.
To display the built-in Help, press F1 or select LibreOffice Help from the Help menu.
For quick tips, place the mouse pointer over any of the icons to see a small box (“tooltip”) with a
brief explanation of the icon’s function. For a more detailed explanation, select Help > What's
This? and hold the pointer over the icon. In addition, you can choose whether to activate Extended
Tips using Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General.
