Note: This work will be done in register where
digital documentation work is done.
Q1 Which are the ways to insert images in writer
document?
➢ Drag and drop
1. Open a file browser window and locate the image you want to insert.
2. Drag the image into the Writer document and drop it where you want it
to appear. A faint vertical line marks where the image will be dropped.

➢ Insert Picture dialog

Click in the OOo document where you want the image to appear.
Choose Insert > Picture > From File from the menu bar.

➢ Inserting an image from the clipboard/Gallery

➢ Inserting an image using a scanner

 Q2. Name and define all the options of modifying an
image in picture toolbar.
I Using the Picture toolbar

When you insert an image or select one already present in the document, the
Picture toolbar appears. You can set it to always be present (View > Toolbars >
Picture). Picture control buttons from the Picture toolbar can also be added to the
Standard Toolbar.

1. From File: It replaces the existing picture from computer.

2. Filter: This option allows to filter picture with effects such as invert, smooth,
sharpen, remove noise, solarization etc.
3. Graphics Mode: It changes the graphics mode into Grayscale,
Watermark, Black/White and default colors.
4. Color: Recolor the image or picture with specified values from toolbar.
User can change color in RGB pattern as well as Brightness, Contrast and
Gamma options to recolor the image.
5. Transparency: Make the image transparent as per the specified value in
percentage, More percentage more image will transparent. 100% makes
the image white.
6. Flip Horizontally: Flip the image left to right direction.
7. Flip Vertically: Flip the image from upward to downward direction.
8. Frame Properties:

II. Properties Window:

Properties window almost provides similar options as picture toolbar under

graphic property. Moreover it allows change the height and width by Position
and Size attribute.

Wrap property adjust the image along with text in a paragraph such as
None(Default), Before (Text Before Image), After (Text after image), Parallel
(Inline with text), Through (In front of text), Optimal (Adjust image
automatically).

Note: User can access these all commands from format menu.
User can also modify image by using Format → Picture option.

create the shadow and, hence, the relief effect.

Mosaic Joins groups of pixels into a single area of one color.

Transparency
Modify 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.

Q3. Explain the 2 options that appear when we

crop an image.
➢ 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. To start cropping the image,
right-click on it and select Picture from the pop-up menu. In the Picture dialog box,
select the Crop page (see Figure 7).
Figure 7: The options available when cropping a picture

In the Crop page, you can control the following parameters:

❖ Keep scale / Keep image size
When Keep scale is selected (default), cropping the image does not change
the scale of the picture.
When Keep image size is selected, cropping produces enlargement (for
positive cropping values), shrinking (for negative cropping values), or
distortion of the image so that the image size remains constant.
❖ Left, Right, Top, and Bottom
The image is cropped by the amount entered in these boxes. For example,
a value of 3cm in the Left box cuts 3 cm from the left side of the picture.
• When Keep scale is selected, the size of the image also changes, so in
this example the width will be reduced by 3 cm.
• When Keep image size is selected, the remaining part of the image is
enlarged (when you enter positive values for cropping) or shrunk (when
you enter negative values for cropping) so that the width and height of
the image remains unchanged.
❖ Width and Height
The Width and Height fields under either Scale or Image size change as you
enter values in the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom fields. Use the thumbnail
next to these fields to determine the correct amount by which to crop.
Q4 How do we Creating drawing objects?
To begin using the drawing tools, display the Drawing toolbar (Figure 9), by clicking

Figure 9. The Drawing toolbar

To use a drawing tool:

1. Click in the document where you want the drawing to be anchored.
2. Select the tool from the Drawing
3. Move the cross-hair pointer to the place in the document where you want the
graphic to appear and then click-and-drag to create the drawing object.
Release the mouse button. The selected drawing function remains active, so
you can draw another object of the same type.

4. To cancel the selected drawing function, press the Esc key or click on the
Select icon (the arrow) on the Drawing toolbar.
5. You can now change the properties (fill color, line type and weight, anchoring,
and others) of the drawing object using either the Drawing Object Properties
toolbar or the choices and dialog boxes reached by right-clicking on the
drawing object.

Q 5. How to Set or change properties for drawing objects

To set the properties for a drawing object before you draw it:
1. On the Drawing toolbar (Figure 9), click the Select tool.
2. On the Drawing Object Properties toolbar click on the icon for each property
and select the value you want for that property.
3. For more control, or to define new attributes, you can click on the Area or
Line icons on the toolbar to display detailed dialog boxes.
The default you set applies to the current document and session. It is not retained
when you close the document or close Writer, and it does not apply to any other
document you open. The defaults apply to all the drawing objects except text objects.

Figure 10. Drawing Object Properties toolbar

To change the properties for an existing drawing object:

1. Select the object.
2. Continue as described above.
You can also specify the position and size, rotation, and slant and corner radius
properties of the drawing object:
1. Right-click on the drawing object and then click Position and Size from the
pop-up menu. The Position and Size dialog box is displayed.
2. Choose any properties, as required.

Q6 How to Resizing a drawing object

. Select the object, click on one of the eight handles around it and drag it to its new
position
. For a scaled resizing, select one of the corner handles and keep the Shift key pressed
while dragging the handle to its new position.
For more sophisticated control of the size of the object, select Format > Object >
Position and Size from the menu bar.
Use the Position and Size dialog box to set the width and height independently.
If the Keep ratio option is selected, then the two dimensions change so that the
proportion is maintained, allowing for a scaled resizing.

Q7 How to do Grouping drawing objects

To group drawing objects:
1. Select one object, then hold down the Shift key and select the others you want to
include in the group. The bounding box expands to include all the selected
objects.
 2. With the objects selected, hover the mouse pointer over one of the objects and
choose Format > Group > Group from the menu bar or right-click and choose
Group > Group from the pop-up menu.

Q8. 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, which
may wrap around the graphic on one or both sides, be overprinted behind or in
front of the graphic, or treat the graphic as a separate paragraph or character.
The settings can be accessed in a number of ways, depending on the nature of the
graphics:
1. From the Format menu, where you can find Alignment, Arrange, Wrap, and
Anchor (both for images and drawing objects).
2. From the pop-up menu displayed when you right-click on the graphic.
3. click on the image to select it and then choose Format > Picture or right-click
on the graphic and choose Picture on the pop-up menu.
4. . To open the Position and Size dialog box, click on the drawing object to
select it and then choose Format > Object > Position and Size or right-click
on the graphic
Q9. What does arrange a picture means? Give all
the options available in Arrange.
Arranging graphics
Arranging a graphic object means to determine its vertical position relative to
other graphic objects or text. Arranging is only relevant when objects are
overlapping. You can choose between four settings, plus a special setting for
drawing objects:
 Figure 260: The Arrange menu
• Bring to Front: draws the graphic on top of any other graphics or text.
• Bring Forward: brings the object one level up in the stack (zaxis).
Depending on the number of overlapping objects, you may need to
apply this option several times to obtain the desired result.
• Bring Backward: the opposite of Bring Forward; sends the selected
object one level down in the object stack.
• Send to Back: sends the selected graphic to the bottom of the stack, so
that other graphics and text cover it.
• To Background / To Foreground: only available for drawing objects;
moves the drawing object behind or in front of the text respectively.

Q10 Give steps to give:

a) Give caption to image
To add captions using the Caption dialog box:

1) Insert the graphic, then select it and click Insert > Caption.
2) Under Properties on the Caption dialog Whatever text you enter for the
caption appears in the box at the bottom, after the sequence name,
number, and separator.
b) Give border to image
Applying Borders/Frames:
Step 1. Select inserted picture.
Step 2. Click on Format → Picture option.
Step 3. Click on Borders Tab and set different commands for borders
c) Change color of autoshape
Select shape > properties> fill color

d) To add text and text effects in autoshapes

Right click on shape > Text>enter text >select animation effects
Q11. What does Wrap feature means in inserting
images. Explain all the types of wrap options.
Wrapping text around graphics
The Wrap setting determines the relation between the text and the graphic.
Several possibilities are provided:
No Wrap
With this option the text is placed above and below the image but not
around it. This is the wrapping type used for most of the figures in this
guide.
Page Wrap or Optimal Page Wrap
The text flows around the image. Moving the image around the page
causes the text to be rearranged to fill the space to the left and right of it.
Optimal Page Wrap prevents text from being placed to the side of the
image if the spacing between the image and the margin is less than 2 cm.
Wrap Through
Superimposes the image on the text. That is, the image is above the text.
This option must be used in conjunction with the imagetransparency
setting in order to make the text under the picture visible.
In Background
Similar to Wrap Through, but the image is placed below the text so there
may be no need to change the transparency to make the text visible.
Wrap Through and In Background
This example shows how to use an image as a watermark by wrapping it
through the text and adjusting the transparency. This is not the best way to
create watermarks and it is presented here only for its illustration purposes. If
you need to create a watermark, it is best to use a Font works object wrapped
in the background
