Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

Note: Newsletters or newspapers require a variety of main headings, subheadings, and text wraps to make it easier

to read. In the Paragraph Styles dialogue of the Styles and Formatting window context menu, it would thus be a

good idea to create several appropriate paragraph styles ( go to the Styles and Formatting window > context menu

> click New...).

Working with Frames

A frame positioned over one or more columns can give the newspaper a less crowded, more

interesting appearance. Such a frame can contain text, graphics, or even a chart.

Click the Insert icon on the Tools toolbar and from the floating toolbar, select the Insert

frame manually icon. The mouse pointer changes to a small cross that is dragged to open a

frame and position it over one or more columns in the document.

Formatting a Frame

Put the cursor in the frame (deselect the frame first, then click inside it) and enter any text or

graphics. The appearance and properties of the frame can, of course, be modified at any time.

Select the frame by clicking it, call up the context menu and click Frame.... A dialogue with

several tabs will appear which allows, for example, one to apply a coloured shadow to the

frame via the Borders tab.

Anchoring Frames

In the Frame dialogue, click the Type tab and select the type of anchor under the heading

Anchor to. If the frame is to always remain on the same page — which is important for a

table of contents, for example, — select Page. For the frame to flow with the text, e.g., for

small symbols which always appear in the margin accompanying a certain word in the text,

select To Character. Or, in flowing text, the frame should move with the text as a character,

select As Character. Select Paragraph to anchor a frame to a specific paragraph,.

The type of anchor can also be specified from the context menu. Alternatively, click the

Change Anchor icon in the Object bar to quickly change the anchor.

Defining a Frame Wrap

Open the Frame dialogue (context menu > Frame) to define the frame wrap and click the

Wrap tab. Select the desired wrap style, and under Spacing, define the spacing between the

frame and text. Finally, select the option First Paragraph.
