Introduction

This chapter covers the basics of working with text in Writer, the word-processing

component of OpenOffice.org (OOo). It assumes that you are familiar with the use of

a mouse and keyboard and that you have read about Writer’s menus and toolbars and

other topics covered in Chapter 1 (Introducing Writer).

We recommend that you also follow the suggestions in Chapter 2 (Setting up Writer)

about displaying formatting aids, such as end-of-paragraph marks, and selecting

other setup options.

When you have read this chapter, you should know how to:

• Select, cut, copy, paste, and move text

• Find and replace text

• Insert special characters

• Format paragraphs and characters

• Create numbered or bulleted lists

• Check spelling, use the thesaurus, and choose hyphenation options

• Use the autocorrection, word completion, autotext, and line numbering

features

• Track changes, undo and redo changes, and insert notes

• Link to other parts of a document

Selecting text

Before you can do anything with text, you need to select it. Selecting text in Writer is

similar to selecting anything in other applications.

In addition to selecting blocks of text, you can select items that are not consecutive,

and columns (vertical blocks) of text.

Selecting items that are not consecutive

To select nonconsecutive items (as shown in Figure 62) using the mouse:

1) Select the first piece of text.

2) Hold down the Control (Ctrl) key and use the mouse to select the next piece of

text.

3) Repeat as often as needed.

Now you can work with the selected text (copy it, delete it, change the style, and so

on).

To select nonconsecutive items using the keyboard:

1) Select the first piece of text. (For more information about keyboard selection of

text, see the topic “Navigating and Selecting with the Keyboard” in the

OpenOffice.org Help (F1).)

2) Press Shift+F8. This puts Writer in “ADD” mode. The word ADD appears on the

Status Bar.

3) Use the arrow keys to move to the start of the next piece of text to be selected.

Hold down the Shift key and select the next piece of text.

4) Repeat as often as required.
