Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer
Applying subscripts/superscripts retrospectively
Let's say that while proofing text, the text H2O needs to altered to include a subscripted “2”
giving (H2O). To do so, use either the key shortcut method, described above, or use this
method method via the menu command:
1. Highlight the character that should be in subscript/superscript. For example, select the 2.
2. Choose Format > Character. This opens the Character dialogue.
3. Click the Position tab.
4. Select Subscript and click OK.
The 2 now appears in subscript.
Writing in Uppercase or Lowercase
Writer has the following methods for re-formatting text in uppercase or lowercase.
• To display in uppercase: Highlight the text and choose Format > Character > Font
Effects tab, and under Effects select Capitals.
• Displaying in lowercase: Highlight the text and choose Format > Character > Font
Effects tab, and under Effects select Lowercase.
• Converting to uppercase: Highlight text, then choose Format > Case/Characters >
Uppercase or right-click and make the same selection form the popup menu.
• Converting to lowercase: Highlight text, then choose Format > Case/Characters >
Lowercase or right-click and make the same selection from the popup menu.
Moving Text Sections in Documents
1. Select the text that to be moved.
2. Place the mouse pointer in the selected text, then press the mouse button and keep it
pressed.
3. Drag the mouse until a symbol appears next to the pointer, indicating that the selected area
will be moved. In addition, a gray text cursor moves with the mouse pointer, indicating
where the selection is to be inserted.
