LibreOffice
Writer 'Quick Guides'
 Whenever
I use LibreOffice Writer I usually only require the basic functions but
even these I sometimes forget how to access if I don't use them
regularly. So I
wrote these simple 'Quick Guides' as a memory aid which I've
posted here to help others like me. They've been checked for
accuracy but please forgive any errors that
may have crept in. I thought it would be useful to be able to download
the actual files in .odt format and view them directly
in Writer so that the instructions can be tried out as you read.
I assume that the user already has LibreOffice installed but if not, it
is free to download and there is a link at the bottom of the page. I
know
that this office suite does a lot more than described here, and there
may be better ways to achieve
the same objectives, but I'm just sharing what works for me. If
you have Microsoft Word installed, the files will open but the
formatting may vary
Although
the easiest way to select various Writer functions is by clicking on
the toolbar icons, most of the tutorials presented here access them
using the menu bar instead. This is to avoid any confusion if different
themes or layouts are used. With a bit of experimentation the
associated icons are easily found anyway. There is also a right click
context menu as well. So many choices!
These guides were created with LibreOffice version 6.2.8.2 (Windows 64 Bit) All the guides are on a single A4 page so can be printed and made into a handy booklet.
