  • 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.

    List of Word Processors (Page 1 of 2) Bob Hawes copied this list from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_word_processors. He added six additional programs, and relocated the Freeware section so that it directly follows the FOSS section. This way, most of the software on page 1 is free, and most of the software on page 2 is not. Bob then used page 1 as the basis for his April 15, 2011 presentation Free Word Processors.

  • 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.

  • Tech Tips Zamzar
    Tech Tips from Mr G Converting Files with Zamzar It happens to all of us. Someone sends us a file that’s written in Microsoft Works (don’t get me started), and all we have is Word. Or you created a presentation on your Mac at home, using Keynote, but the computer you’re working on now only has PowerPoint. Instead of silently cursing the person who sent you the incompatible file for not saving it into a more standard format, and ripping out your hair, there may well be a solution to the problem. And that solution’s name is Zamzar. What is Zamzar? Let’s go back for a moment and talk about an author by the name of Franz Kafka. He wrote a short story called The Metamorphosis, in which a character by the name of Gregor Samsa woke up one day to find out that he had been turned into a giant cockroach. At least that’s the way my 8th grade teacher, Mr D’Antonio, told us the story. Zamzar takes its name from Gregor Samsa, who was changed, because it changes your files from one format to another. Now that you know that, let’s get down to what Zamzar really is. It’s a web-based program that can convert one file format to just about any other file format, and you can find it at www.zamzar.com. How Do You Use Zamzar? There are four steps, as shown in the graphic from their website. The first step is to select the file you want to convert.
