Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

Emphasizing Text

There are many ways of emphasizing text in a special way. Here are some of them:

• Use the icons in the Object bar for regular Formatting needs. For example, change the

text to bold or to another font style, change the text colour and background, or centre the

text.

• Whole paragraph can be emphasized using borders. Place the cursor in the paragraph that

is to be emphasized, right-click to its context menu and select Paragraph, then click on,

for example, the Borders tab. At this point,a border may be selected to frame the

paragraph, and also with shadow shading, if desired. If necessary the distance between the

border and the paragraph text can be adjusted under Spacing to contents.

• Using a Text Frame, provides the following possibilities:

a) Text can receive a border

b) Text can be placed outside of the text margin on the side of the page.

c) Text frames can be linked when text should flow from one frame to another.

• Choose Format > Paragraph > Background to apply a background colour to the

paragraph.

• Use the Draw Text “function: Open the Draw function toolbar (on the Standard

toolbar), select the Text icon , drag open a frame and enter the text. This text can be

positioned as desired, which includes rotating at various angles, or curving and slanting

the text with the help of Format > Object > FontWork.

Changing the colour of Text

floating toolbar from which to choose a colour from the range of colours. Alternatively, long-

When using a short-click with no text selected, the mouse pointer changes its appearance to a

tilted paint can pouring paint. Drag the hot spot of the mouse pointer across the target text

area. This text area now takes on the selected colour. The function remains active for as long

as the icon is active (looks depressed), or until simply clicking without dragging, or until the

(Esc) key is pressed.

Rotating Text
