4.4 LibreOce Writer
LibreOce Writer is a full-featured word processor with page and text-formatting
capabilities. It also includes some features that are usually found only in expensive
desktop publishing applications. Many of the LibreOce Writer features apply also
to other LibreOce modules.
4.4.1 Creating a New Document
LibreOce Writer allows you to create a new document in one of the following ways:
• From Scratch To create a document from scratch, click File > New > Text
Document and a new empty Writer document is created.
• Wizard To use a standard format and predened elements for your own docu-
ments use a wizard. Click File > Wizards > Letter... and follow the steps.
• Templates To use a template, click File > New > Templates and Documents
and choose one of the many folders (for example, Business Correspondence)
and a new document based on the style of your selected template is created.
To use a standard format and predened elements for your own documents, try a
wizard (a small utility that lets you make some basic initial decisions and then pro-
duces a ready-made document from a template). For example, to create a business
letter, click File > Wizards > Letter. With the wizard's dialogs, you can create a basic
document that uses a standard format.
Enter text in the document window as desired. Use the Formatting toolbar or the
Format menu to adjust the appearance of the document. Use the File menu or the
relevant buttons in the toolbar to print and save your document. With the options
under Insert, add extra items to your document, such as a table, picture, or chart.
