You can drag and drop a text selection into the Styles and Formatting window to create a new
style.
Select some text and drag it to the Styles and Formatting window. If Paragraph Styles are active,
the paragraph style will be added to the list. If Character Styles are active, the character style will
be added to the list.
10. Explain any two methods for Modifying styles
Answer:-
1. Updating a style from a selection
To update a style from a selection:
1. Open the Styles and Formatting window.
2. In the document, select an item that has the format you want to adopt as a style.
3. In the Styles and Formatting window, select the style you want to update (single-click, not
double-click), then long-click on the arrow next to the New Style from Selection icon and click on
Update Style.
2. Load or copy styles from another document or template
You can copy styles by loading them from a template or another document:
1. Open the document you want to copy styles into.
2. In the Styles and Formatting window, long-click on the arrow next to the New Style from
Selection icon, and then click on Load Styles.
3. On the Load Styles dialog, find and select the template you want to copy styles from.
4. Select the categories of styles to be copied. Select Overwrite if you want the styles being

Answer:-
Any changes you make to a style are effective only in the current document. To change styles in
more than one document, you need to change the template or copy the styles into the other
documents.
12. Describe the different ways in which images can be inserted in a Writer document.
Answer:-
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 Libreoffice Gallery.

1. Inserting an image file

When the image is in a file stored on the computer, you can insert it into an OOo document using
either of the following methods:
a) 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.
This method embeds (saves a copy of) the image file in the Writer document. To link the file instead
of embedding it, hold down the Control+Shift keys while dragging the image.

b) Insert Picture dialog

1. Click in the OOo document where you want the image to appear.
2. Choose Insert -> Picture- > From File from the menu bar.
3. On the Insert Picture dialog, navigate to the file to be inserted, select it, and click Open.
At the bottom of the dialog are two options, Preview and Link. Select Preview to view a thumbnail
of the selected image on the right, so you can verify that you have the correct file. See below for the
use of Link.

c) Inserting an image from the clipboard

Using the clipboard, you can copy images into an OOo document from another OOo document and
from other programs. To do this:
1. Open both the source document and the target document.
2. In the source document, select the image to be copied.
3. Move the mouse pointer over the selected image and press Control+C to copy the image to
the clipboard.
4. Switch to the target document.
5. Click to place the cursor where the graphic is to be inserted.
6. Press Control+V to insert the image.

2. Inserting an image using a scanner

If a scanner is connected to your computer, Libreoffice can call the scanning application and inserted
the scanned item into the Libreoffice document as an image. To start this procedure, click where you
want thegraphic to be inserted and select
Insert -> Picture -> Scan -> Select Source.
Although this practice is quick and easy, it is unlikely to r esult in a high-quality image of the correct
size. You may get better results by scanned material into a graphics program and cleaning it up there
before inserting the resulting image into Libreoffice
Inserting an image from the Gallery
The Gallery provides a convenient way to group reusable objects such as graphics and sounds that
you can insert into your documents. The Gallery is available in all components of Libreoffice. It
does not come with many graphics, but you can add your own pictures or find extensions containing
more graphics. To insert a Gallery image into a Writer document:
1. To open the Gallery, click on the Gallery icon located in the right side of the Standard toolbar
or choose Tools -> Gallery from the menu bar.
2. Navigate through the Gallery to find the desired picture.
3. To insert the picture, click and drag it from the Gallery into the Writer document. You can
also right-click on the picture and choose
Insert ->Copy.
13. Describe the different methods to modify an Image
Answer:-

1. Using the Picture toolbar

a. Graphics mode - You can change color images to grayscale by selecting the image and then
selecting Grayscale from the Graphics mode list.
b. Flip vertically or horizontally - To flip an image vertically or horizontally, select the image,
and then click the relevant icon.

c. Color - Use this toolbar to modify the individual RGB color components of the image (red,
green, blue) as well as the brightness, contrast, and gamma of the image. If the result is not
satisfactory, you can press Control+Z to restore the default values.

d. 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.

e. Filters -
1. Invert - Inverts the color values of a color image or the brightness values of a grayscale
image.
2. Smooth - Softens the contrast of an image.
3. Sharpen- Increases the contrast of an image.
4. Remove noise- Removes single pixels from an image.
5. Solarization- Mimics the effects of too much light in a picture. A further dialog box
opens to adjust the parameters.
6. Aging- Simulates the effects of time on a picture. Can be applied several times. Afurther
dialog box opens to adjust the aging level.
7. Posterize - Makes a picture appear like a painting by reducing the number ofcolors used.
8. Pop Art- Modifies the picture dramatically.
9. Charcoal- Displays the image as a charcoal sketch.
10. Relief- A dialog box is displayed to adjust the light source that will create theshadow
and, hence, the relief effect.
11. Mosaic- Joins groups of pixels into a single area of one color.
2. Using the formatting toolbar and Picture dialog
When an image is selected, you can customize some aspects of its appearance using the tools
available on the Formatting toolbar as well as in the dialog that is shown by right-clicking on the
image and selecting Picture. You can, for example, create a border around the image, selecting style
and color; or you can (in the Borders page of the Picture dialog) add a shadow to the image.

1. 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
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.

2. Resizing an image
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.
1. Click the picture, if necessary, to show the green resizing handles.
2. Position the pointer over one of the green resizing handles. The pointer changes shape giving
a graphical representation of the direction of the resizing.
3. Click and drag to resize the picture.
4. Release the mouse button when satisfied with the new size.
The corner handles resize both the width and the height of the graphic object simultaneously, while
the other four handles only resize one dimension at a time.
3. Rotating a picture
Writer does not provide a tool for rotating a picture; however, there is a simple workaround:
1. Open a new Draw or Impress document (File > New > Drawing or File > New >
Presentation).
2. Insert the image you want to rotate.
3. Select the image, then in the Drawing toolbar, select the Rotate icon from the Effects tear-
off toolbar.
4. Rotate the image as desired. Use the red handles at the corners of the picture and move the
mouse in the direction you wish to rotate. By default the picture rotates around its center, but
you can change the pivot point by moving the black crosshair to the desired rotation center.
5. Select the rotated picture by pressing Ctrl+A, then copy the image to the clipboard with
Ctrl+C.
6. Finish by going back to the location of the Writer document where the image is to be inserted
and pressing Ctrl+V.
14. Name the two other toolbars can be opened from the picture toolbar
Answer:-
1. The Graphic Filter toolbar- which can be torn off and placed elsewhere on the window
2. The Color toolbar, which opens as a separate floating toolbar
15. Write the steps to create drawing objects in Libre office Writer. Display

the Drawing toolbar by clicking View Menu -> Toolbars -> Drawing.To use a

drawing tool:

1. Click in the document where you want the drawing to be anchored. You can change the
anchor later, if necessary.
2. Select the tool from the Drawing toolbar. The mouse pointer changes to a drawing-functions
pointer.

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 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.
16. How do you Set or change properties for drawing objects before you draw it:

 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.
19. Write the steps to group drawing objects in Writer.
Answer:-
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.

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 LibreOffice.org are based on templates. You can create a specific template for
any document type (text, spreadsheet, drawing, presentation). If you do not specify atemplate
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, LibreOffice uses the blank template
for that type of document that is installed with LibreOffice .
