GNU Essentials: LibreOffice Writer for Windows
LibreOffice 7.2 Writer Basics
Description
This course introduces users to the basics of Writer for Windows.
After successful completion of the materials, the user will understand a lot about Writer and what the user can do with Writer.
This course includes demos and works on the applied learning principle.
One recent example where knowledge of LibreOffice Writer was useful was in the case of a corrupt docx file from a middle school.. This file would not open in Word or LibreOffice. The instructor then provided a revised document. This would open as read only in Word. The instructor insisted it not work in LibreOffice but, if you save as docx, then, the document will open in LibreOffice, as it did in this case.
There are also cases of people unable to open a docx for one simple edit. One recommendation is saving as a PDF and opening in Draw. Once you learn more about LibreOffice, you may find several different ways to achieve results not immediately available or even possible with other software.
This course goes into different sections included in the user guide in a more clear and concise manner with demos and lectures included. Topics covered are styles, images, tables, text, output and more. This is a course for Windows users of LibreOffice Writer.
For templates and advanced configuration and use, find an intermediate or advanced course.
GNU Linux courses will be available by February 2022.
A certificate of completion from GNU Essentials is generated upon completion of the course. Good luck with the course materials and your journey using LibreOffice.
