Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

Entering and Formatting Text

There is no prescribed sequence in which to work. One can enter text and, let us say,

underline it or italicize it while typing or choose to do this later. Users can also decide

whether or not to split a section of text into two columns immediately or to delay the action.

Text never has to be deleted and retyped simply because formatting needs changing.

Basically, to edit text, first select it and then choose the relevant command, such as the one to

format the text in italics. There are several ways of selecting text, for example, using the

arrow keys whilst holding down the Shift key, or with the mouse whilst keeping the mouse

button depressed. Often there are different ways of choosing a command, for example, with a

menu command, with a toolbar icon or with shortcut keys.

Entering New Text

To enter new text:

1. Open an existing text document or create a new one.

2. Enter text using the keyboard.

When special characters, such as the copyright symbol or accented characters that are not

available on the keyboard are to be entered, select Insert > Special Character and chose

what is needed from the table.

3. Press Enter to begin a new paragraph.

Line breaks

Users never need to worry about line breaks as the software inserts these automatically. Only

press Enter at the point to start a new paragraph.

Automatic correction

OpenOffice.org Writer includes a configurable auto-correction tool that can make various

corrections while typing. For example, automatically capitalizing the start of every sentence.

Word completion

The automatic word completion function helps when entering text. For example, let's say,

there's an often used long word. In this case, Writer suggests a word it recognizes as

matching what has been typed so far. If the suggestion is what is wanted, Press Enter (or

define another key) to accept it.

Inserting Text

1. Open an existing document.

2. place the cursor at the point where text is to be added using either the mouse or the arrow

keys, and enter the new text.
