Using AutoText

AutoText allows you to assign text, tables, graphics and other items to

a key combination. For example, rather than typing “Senior

Management” every time you use that phrase, you can type “sm” and

press F3. You can also save graphics or tables (such as a formatted Tip

like the one on this page) as AutoText.

To assign some text to an AutoText shortcut:

1) Type the text into your document.

2) Select the text so it is highlighted.

3) Choose Edit > AutoText (or press Control+F3).

4) Enter a name for your shortcut. Writer will suggest a one-letter

shortcut, which you can change.

5) Click the AutoText button on the right and select New (text

only) from the menu.

6) Click Close to return to your document.

Tip

If the only option under the AutoText button is Import, either

you have not entered a name for your AutoText or there is no

text selected in the document.

AutoText is especially powerful when assigned to fields. See Chapter

14 (Working with Fields) in the Writer Guide for more information.

Formatting text

Using styles is recommended

Styles are central to using Writer. Styles enable you to easily format

your document consistently, and to change the format with minimal

effort. A style is a named set of formatting options. Writer defines

several types of styles, for different types of elements: characters,

paragraphs, pages, frames, and lists. See Chapter 3 (Using Styles and

Templates) in this book and Chapters 6 and 7 in the Writer Guide.

Formatting paragraphs

You can apply many formats to paragraphs using the buttons on the

Formatting toolbar. Figure 74 shows the Formatting toolbar as a

floating toolbar, customized to show only the buttons for paragraph

formatting. The appearance of the icons may vary with your operating
