They say that styles are everything in OpenOffice Writer. Why are they needed?
You are mistaken if you think that styles are something incomprehensible and unnecessary. On the basis of styles in OpenOffice Writer, the entire logic of working with a document is built and many important features, such as pagination, changing page orientation, arranging mirrored margins, and more.
The ability to work with styles in OpenOffice Writer greatly simplifies the process of formatting a document. Now, instead of having to set the required parameters each time, for example, the heading - "Times New Roman, font 16 points, bold, etc. - you simply select the desired Paragraph style. You can open the "Styles and Formatting" window in Menu - "Format" - "Styles" or by pressing F11. OpenOffice.org Writer has five types of styles:
Paragraph styles affect the entire paragraph;
Character styles affect a block of text in a paragraph;
Page styles affect page formatting (page size, margins, and so on);
Frame styles affect frames and graphics;
List styles affect numbered and bulleted lists.
You can also modify styles and create your own. To do this, in the Styles and Formatting panel, click right click mouse and select "New" or "Edit", in the window that appears, select desired parameters new style or modify existing ones.
How to number pages?
Before you start numbering the pages, you need to prepare them: for each page, select the desired style or the same for all. The page numbering process itself consists of two stages: inserting headers and footers and inserting a page number.
If the numbering should start from the first page, then you need to do the following:
1. Select a page style: Menu - "Format" - "Styles" - "Page Style" - "Normal" (or any other other than "First Page").
2. Menu - "Insert" - "Header" or "Footer" (optional) - "Normal", next to which a "tick" will appear.
3. The cursor is in the inserted header, select Menu - "Insert" - "Field" - "Page number".
If the first page of the document should not be numbered, then the following steps must be taken:
1. Select the style of the first page Menu - "Format" - "Styles" - "Page Style" - "First Page".
2. Menu - "Insert" - "Break" - "Page Break" - "Style" - "Normal" (or any other other than "First Page"). The performed actions mean that the first page has the "First Page" style and will not be numbered, and the numbering will start from the second page.
3. Go to the second page. Select Menu - "Insert" - "Footer" or "Header" (optional) - "Normal", next to which a checkmark will appear.
4. Follow Menu - "Insert" - "Field" - "Page Number".
If the first page numbering should start with a number other than 1, then you need to do the following:
1. Menu - "Insert" - "Footer"
2. Now the cursor is in the footer. To insert a page number, follow the menu "Insert" - "Fields" - "Page Number". The page number will be 1.
3. Click on the first paragraph of the text area, or enter the text of the paragraph.
4. Select Menu - "Format" - "Paragraph" (or right-click and select Paragraph from the drop-down menu) to display the Paragraph window.
5. On the Page Position tab, in the Breaks section, check the boxes for Add Break, With Page Style, and the page style you use for the first page of the document.
6. Now the "Page number" field becomes active. Enter the starting number you need into it. Click the OK button to close the Paragraph window.
Note: OpenOffice Writer cannot start pagination from 0.
After the number appears on the page, the numbering style can be formatted like a regular document (Highlight ("Bold", "Italic", "Underline"), Alignment ("Centered", "Left", "Right", "Fit "")).
If you want to remove page numbering:
1. Menu - "Insert" - "Header" or "Footer" - remove the checkmarks
2. To the question that appeared, “Disabling headers and footers will cause their content to be deleted. Delete text? answer YES.
Instead of a page number - "1, 2, 3, etc." - "Page number" is inserted, what should I do?
Just change Document type: Menu - "View" - "Fields" (uncheck).
How to change page margins?
Page margins can be changed using the rulers or by calling the page formatting panel (Menu - "Format" - "Page"). You can also right-click anywhere on the page and from context menu select "Page", the same window will open.
When entering numbers into the table, OpenOffice Writer replaces the entered numbers with others (for example, removes 0), how to get rid of this?
Right-click and uncheck "Number Recognition" in the context menu.
Where is the "Indents and Spacing" panel located?
Open Menu - "Format" - "Paragraph" - "Indents and Spacing" or right-click anywhere on the page and select "Paragraph" from the context menu.
How to change page orientation?
Page orientation can be changed in Menu - "Format" - "Page". If you want the page to first have portrait orientation, then landscape, and then portrait again, you'd better use page styles. Open Menu - "Insert" - "Break" - "Page Break" - "Style" and select the desired style. If you select "Album", then the page will have all the parameters of the specified style, including landscape orientation. Then perform the same operation (Menu - "Insert" - "Break" - "Page Break" - "Style"), only select the style "Normal" (or any other than "Album") and the page will again have a portrait orientation.
Where can I see statistics?
Statistics (number of pages, paragraphs, words, characters) can be viewed in the Menu - "File" - "Properties" - "Statistics". Note that Openoffice Writer counts the number of characters with spaces. The number of words and characters can also be viewed in the Menu - "Number of words".
How to remove borders around text block and footer block?
By default, OpenOffice Writer sets frames for a text block. If this bothers you, you can remove them in the Menu item - "View" - "Text Borders". But if you are working with headers and footers, then it is better to leave frames for ease of perception (it helps to distinguish headers and footers from the main text).
How to paste text without formatting?
Suppose you have written a multi-page document, but you need to add information from a website or other document to the file. Unfortunately, the new part of the text is inserted with different formatting. If you want it to stand up with the formatting of existing text, use Menu - "Edit" - "Paste as" - "Text without formatting".
How to select the entire document and a vertical block of text?
To select all text, open Menu - "Edit" - "Select All", to select a vertical block of text: Menu - "Edit" - "Select Mode" - "Block Area".
How to create a numbered list?
To work with lists, use the Numbered List and Bulleted List icons on the paragraph formatting toolbar. With it, you can move items up or down the list, create sub-items, and even change the style of the bullets. It is more convenient, of course, if you use List Styles (Menu - "Format" - "Styles" - "List Styles").
How to make a footnote?
Place the cursor where you want the footnote to be. Then open Menu - "Insert" - "Footnote". You can choose where to place the footnote: at the end of the document or at the end of the page. To directly format footnotes, select Menu - "Tools" - "Footnotes". In the Customize Footnotes dialog box, select the desired customization options.
