  • 2MORE on WORD PROCESSING Working with Larger Documents
    Lesson 2: More on Word Processing MORE ON WORD PROCESSING Working with larger documents 2 LEARNING OUTCOMES In Lesson 1, you learned how to create, edit, and save a new document (the Conference Call letter). You practiced moving around the page on the screen. You carried out simple formatting and updating: adjusting margins, adding, deleting, and changing text. You learned to use the spelling checker. Finally, you used the printer to produce a hard copy (printed) version of your document on paper. You should be thinking of the computer as a tool for processing data of all kinds in much the same way as sculptors or wood carvers think of a hammer and chisel as tools for creating forms out of stone or wood. LibreOffice Writer has many functions that are designed to help you mold your writing into a work of art. In this tutorial you will review what you learned in Lesson 1. Then you will be introduced to functions of Writer that are especially valuable when working with longer documents. Amongst these are the following: Inserting page numbers tools for formatting text bullets and numbered lists more on indenting text creating sections and columns of text finding and replacing text moving and copying text within a document setting off a block of text with a border adding graphics to a Writer document A caveat before you begin: You'll find it easiest to use the tutorial if you follow the directions carefully. On computers there are always other ways of doing things, but if you wander off on your own be sure you know your way back! 31 ESSENTIAL LibreOffice: Tutorials for Teachers Copyright © Bernard John Poole, 2016.

  • Feasibility Study: Migrating from Microsoft Office to Libreoffice in An
    Feasibility Study: Migrating from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice in an Academic Enterprise Environment By: Curran Hamilton, David Hersh, Jacqueline McPherson, Tyler Mobray Humboldt State University May 4th, 2012 Abstract This study investigates the feasibility of a migration from Microsoft Office to an alternative office suite at Humboldt State University. After investigating the market for viable alternatives, it was determined that only the open source LibreOffice might be mature enough to meet the needs of a complex enterprise. A literature search was done to learn more about the suite and its development community. Use cases were drawn up and test cases were derived from them in order to compare the functionality of LibreOffice with that of Microsoft Office. It was concluded that LibreOffice is a rapidly maturing and promising suite that may be a viable replacement in one to two years, but is not an acceptable alternative to Microsoft Office in the enterprise environment today. 1 1. Introduction Due to continually increasing costs associated with the CSU’s contract with Microsoft for its many products, including the Office suite, Humboldt State University decided to look into other office suites (preferably open source) that can perform acceptably in place of Microsoft Office (MS Office). The Information Technology Services (ITS) department hired a team of four interns (Curran Hamilton, David Hersh, Jacqueline McPherson, and Tyler Mobray) to determine if a successful migration away from MS Office was feasible enough to warrant further research. We explored other office products currently available, decided on candidate suites, and tested the candidates. Finally, we analyzed and reported on our findings.

  • Can Libreoffice and Apache Openoffice Be Alternatives to MS-Office from Consumer's Perspective?
    2016 2 nd International Conference on Social, Education and Management Engineering (SEME 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-336-6 "Make It Possible" Study: Can LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice Be Alternatives to MS-Office from Consumer's Perspective? Jun IIO 1,* and Shusaku OHGAMA 2 1Socio-informatics Dept. Faculty of Letters, Chuo University, 742-1 Higashinakano, Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan 2Information Technology Dept. Information Systems Div., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., 4-5-33 Kitahama, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, Japan *Corresponding author Keywords: Open-source software, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Productivity suites. Abstract. There are many guidebooks which offer some instruction of using productivity suites, and most of them focus on Microsoft's Office (MS-Office,) because it is the dominant products in the market. However, we have some other productivity suites, such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice, as the alternative of MS-Office. Therefore, we investigated whether such software could be used properly, within the content of the guidebooks which are widely used. In this paper, the results of our investigation show that the interoperability of such software has already reached a tolerable level from a practical perspective. Introduction Recently, we can find in bookstores many books for reference that provide guidelines on how to operate productivity suites. However, most of them only focus on Microsoft's Office suites (MS-Office,) because it has the largest market share in the world in the productivity software market. On the other hand, there are some other options, such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. In recent days, persons in businesses face some problems in using these productivity suites.
