UNIT 1

Chapter 2
Images can be added to a document in several ways: by
inserting an image file, directly from a graphics program
or a scanner, or from the Open Office Gallery
When the image is in a file stored on the computer, you
can insert it into an Open Office document using either of
the following methods:
1) Drag and Drop
2) Insert Picture Dialog using Insert > Picture > From File
from the menu bar.
3) Inserting An Image From The Clipboard:- Using copy
(Ctrl + C) and paste (Ctrl + V)
Inserting An Image Using A Scanner:-
To start this procedure, click where you want the graphic
to be inserted and select Insert > Picture > Scan > Select
Source.

To insert a Gallery image into a Writer document: Choose


Tools > Gallery

We can modify an image using picture toolbar (View >


Toolbars > Picture)

Two other toolbars can be opened from View > Toolbars >
the Graphic Filter toolbar, which can be torn off and placed
elsewhere on the window, and the Color toolbar, which
opens as a separate floating toolbar.

Graphic filters and their effects


Invert : Inverts the color values of a color image or the
brightness values of a grayscale image.
Smooth : Softens the contrast of an image.
Sharpen : Increases the contrast of an image.
Remove noise : Removes single pixels from an image.

Modifying the percentage value in the Transparency box


on the Picture toolbar to make the image more
transparent. This is particularly useful when creating a
watermark or when wrapping the image in the
background.

Cropping Images: When you are only interested in a


section of the image for the purpose of your document,
you may wish to crop (cut off) parts of it.

When Keep scale is selected (default), cropping the image


does not change the scale of the picture.

The inserted image might not fit perfectly into the


document if it is too big or too small. In these cases, you
can use Writer to resize the image.

To retain the original proportions of the graphic,


Shift+click one of the corner handles, then drag. Be sure to
release the mouse button before releasing the Shift
key.

To begin using the drawing tools, display the Drawing


toolbar by clicking View> Toolbars > Drawing.

Grouping Drawing Objects:


Format > Group > Group from the menu bar
Positioning Image/Graphics Within The Text
Positioning of a graphic is controlled by four settings:

1. Arrangement refers to the placement of a graphic on


an imaginary vertical axis. Arrangement controls how
graphics are stacked upon each other or relative to
the text.

2. Alignment refers to the vertical or horizontal


placement of a graphic in relation to the chosen
anchor point.

3. Anchoring refers to the reference point for the


graphics. This point could be the page, or frame
where the object is, a paragraph, or even a character.
An image always has an anchor point.

4. Text wrapping refers to the relation of graphics to


the surrounding text, whichmay wrap around the
graphic on one or both sides, be overprinted behind
or infront of the graphic, or treat the graphic as a
separate paragraph or character.

The settings can be accessed:-


1. From the Format menu
2. From the Pop-up menu

Summary (ncert)
 In a digital document, a graphic or image is called
digital image.
• A digital image is represented in pixels.
• Predefined image can be inserted using DragDrop
method, Copy-Paste method or using Insert
Image dialog box.
• Inserting an image embeds a copy of the image in
the document.
• An image can be linked to a document using
Insert Image dialog box.
• Linking an image saves only the link of the image
instead of embedding the image. This saves
space in case multiple copies of the same image
are required.
• Image Toolbar can be used to modify an image.
Tools for filtering, resizing, cropping, deleting and
rotating an image are available in this toolbar.
• Drawing Tools are used to create pictures (objects),
such as Flowchart, Call out box, designs, etc.
• Properties of Object can be customised by resizing,
rotating, moving or editing.
• Drawing object properties can be modified either
at the time of creation (when you start drawing)
or after its creation.
• Properties when modified before creation, is
known as setting Default values.
• An object drawn using different shapes, can be
grouped to behave as single object.
• Writer provide various tools to arrange text and
image or drawing on a page.

Chapter 3
A template is a model that you use to create other
documents. For example, you can create a template for
business reports that has your company’s logo on the
first page. New documents created from this template will
all have your company’s logo on the first page.

Templates can contain anything that regular documents


can contain, such as text, graphics, a set of styles, and user-
specific setup information such as measurement units,
language, the default printer, and toolbar and menu
customization.

All documents in OpenOffice.org are based on templates.


You can create a specific template for any document type
(text, spreadsheet, drawing, presentation). If you do not
specify a template when you start a new document,
then the document is based on the default template for
that type of document. If you have not specified a default
template, Open Office uses the blank template
for that type of document that is installed with Open
Office.

You can create your own templates in two ways: from a


document, and using a
wizard.

To set a custom template as the default:


From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Organize.
and choose Set As Default Template

To re-enable Open Office’s Default template e for a


document type as the default, choose Reset Default
Template
To use a particular template, choose File > New >
Templates and Documents.

Writer’s table of contents feature lets you build an


automated table of contents from the headings in your
document. Before you start, make sure that the headings
are styled consistently. For example, you can use the
Heading 1 style for chapter titles and the Heading 2 and
Heading 3 styles for chapter subheadings.

To create a table of content choose


Insert > Indexes and Tables > Indexes and Tables

To Update the table of content:-


1. Place the cursor within the table of contents.
2. Right-click and select Update Index/Table from the
pop-up menu.

To Delete the table of content:-


1. Place the cursor within the table of contents.
2. Right-click and select Delete Index/Table from the pop-
up menu.

To Edit the table of content:-


1. Place the cursor within the table of contents.
2. Right-click and select Edit Index/Table from the pop-up
menu
