following types of styles:

headers and footers, borders and
backgrounds. In Calc. page styles also
include the sequence for printing
sheets.
• Paragraph styles control all aspects
of a paragraph's appearance, such as
text alignment, tab stops, line
spacing, and borders, and can include
character formatting.
• Character styles affect selected text
within a paragraph, such as the font
and size of text, or bold and italic
formats.
• Frame styles are used to format
graphic and text frames, including
wrapping type, borders, backgrounds,
and columns. • Numbering styles
apply similar alignment, numbering or
bullet characters, and fonts to
numbered or bulleted lists. Cell styles
include fonts, alignment, borders,
background, number formats
(for example, currency, date,
number), and cell protection.
• Graphics styles in drawings and
presentations include line, area,
shadowing, transparency, font,
connectors, dimensioning, and other
attributes.

2. Write the steps to insert and crop an

image in Open Office Writer?
Ans:- 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 Open Office. 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
By default, the Gallery is docked above the
Writer workspace. To expand the Gallery,
position the pointer over the line that divides
it from the top of the workspace. When the
pointer changes to parallel lines with arrows,
click and drag downward. The workspace
resizes in response. To expand the Gallery
without affecting the workspace,
undock it so it floats over the workspace. To
do so, hold down the Control key and double-
click on the upper part of the Gallery next to
the View icons. Double-click in the same area
while holding down the Control key to dock it
again (restore it to its position over the
workspace). When the Gallery is docked, to
hide it and view the full Writer workspace,
click the in the middle of the thin bar
separating the Gallery from the workspace. To
close the Gallery, choose Tools > Gallery to
uncheck the Gallery entry, or click on the
Gallery icon again.

you may wish to crop (cut off) parts of it. To
start cropping the image, right click on it and

produces enlargement (for positive cropping
values). shrinking (for negative cropping
values), or distortion of the image so that the
image size remains constant.
II. 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.
III. 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
