SUSE Linux 10 for dummies phần 8196 Part III: Doing Stuff with SUSE 3. Navigate to the directory where you saved the template file, select the template file, and click Open. The Open dialog box closes; the template now appears in the My Templates folder in the Template Management dialog box. 4. Click Close to close the Template Management dialog box. To create a new document from a template you’ve installed, follow these steps: 1. Choose File➪New➪Templates and Documents. A dialog box appears. 2. Click Templates on the left pane and then double-click the Default folder on the right pane. You should see the templates that you have installed. 3. Select the template you want to use and click Open. A new document appears, typically with some text illustrating the selected template’s styles. 4. Erase the text in the new document and start typing what you want. To view the styles in that template, open the Stylist window by pressing F11 and apply styles by double-clicking them in the Stylist. Writer also enables you to perform many other tasks related to styles and templates. For example, you can create a style, apply a style to text, copy styles from one template to another, and so on. Doing page layout In Writer, page styles control the page layout, and each page can have its own style. The usual approach is to define three page styles: First Page, Left Page, and Right Page. Define the First Page style with whatever applies to the first page such as a special header and no page number. The Left Page style is the style for the even-numbered pages, and the Right Page style is for odd- numbered pages. For each page style, you can also define the page style that applies to the following page. The idea would be to define Left Page as the next page style for First Page and Right Page as the style of the page that follows the Left Page style. That way, the page styles are correct for all the pages as long as you start with the First Page style. You may also want to define a Landscape page style so you can use it for pages that have to be in landscape orientation. 197 Chapter 12: Preparing Documents and Spreadsheets in SUSE LinuxIf you are familiar with Microsoft Word, you know that the page setup —paper size, orientation, margins, and so on — applies to all pages in the docu-ment. In Writer, a page style does not automatically apply to the entire docu-ment. Instead, each page has its own page style. Of course, you can choose toapply the same page style to all the pages. Essentially, you have more fine-grained control over page layouts in Writer.A typical page layout task is to insert objects created in other OpenOffice.orgapplications, such as a Calc spreadsheet, an Impress slide, or a Draw draw-ing. You can insert such objects by choosing Insert➪Object➪OLE Object.Incidentally, OLE stands for Object Linking and Embedding, which is just afancy term for the ability to create a document by adding objects like chartsand drawings that are created in different applications.When you add objects to a document, keep this caveat in mind: You can editan object directly in the document only by using the application that origi-nally created the object.One object that you can insert into a Writer document is a mathematical for-mula, and I mean serious formulas with integral signs and Greek letters likealpha and sigma. If you’re writing a scientific paper with complex equations,you’ll really appreciate this feature of OpenOffice.org. Here’s a typicalsequence of steps to insert a formula into a Writer document (this process issimilar for inserting other objects): 1. Position the cursor and choose Insert➪Object➪Formula. The user interface changes to that of OpenOffice.org Math — an applica- tion for writing mathematical formulas — and a small frame for the for- mula appears in the document. The formula is typeset in that frame. 2. Select a formula type from the top two rows of the Selection window. The lower rows in the Selection window show available formulas of that type. For example, the summation category (denoted by an uppercase Greek letter sigma) includes integral signs. 3. Click a specific formula, such as an integral. The Math command for this formula appea ...
