The Writer Experience

Hi People

At the end of the last post, I left you with an easy question.  The button you were looking for was the PDF button.

What are PDF well most people are aware that they are Portable Document Format files, but they are designed to be non-editable once published.  This means that you can provide them as 'fixed' documents. They are like a 'picture' of the text document.

OK, without a specific task in mind, let's see what we can do in Writer.

ITEM : How to create a header and footer in the document

With Writer open you will have your standard toolbars and menus.

Choose the 'Insert' menu item and the 'Header' item from the menu and from the submenu choose 'Default'

The top part of the page outline, splits into two.  The 'Header' portion and the, 'Body' portion.

This is like a page break, but it retains both sections on one page (and every page).

The footer can be created in a similar manner, using the  'Insert' , 'Footer' and 'Default'

The standard items you would find in a Header would be a logo, aside from things which may be put in alternatively in the Footer, such as the date, time, author initials, page count, total pages, addresses, email, telephone numbers, website addresses etc..  

Putting dates, times and  page count in the header or footer is done using the 'Field' menu item. Fields are found by using the 'Insert' , 'Field' and choosing the appropriate field to insert.

NOTE make sure you leave enough room ( vertically ) to get the recipient's address in, if creating  a header for a letter or letter template.

That's it for now
