You can also download the software by using a Peer-to-Peer client, such as BitTorrent, at the same address. Linux users will also find LibreOffice included in many of the latest Linux distributions; Ubuntu is just one example.
Extensions and add-ons are available to enhance LibreOffice. See Chapter 14, Customizing LibreOffice for more information on installing extensions and add-ons.
In general, you start LibreOffice the same way you start any other program on your computer. On computers with Windows or Linux operating systems, a menu entry for LibreOffice and each LibreOffice component appears in the system menu of your computer.
Clicking on the LibreOffice menu entry, desktop icon, or tile opens the LibreOffice Start Center Figure 1 from where you can select the individual components of LibreOffice. You can also select to open an existing file or use a template.
The appropriate component of LibreOffice will start and the document will be loaded. When using CMIS servers, the service will ask you for the necessary credentials for file access. If you do not have Microsoft Office installed on your computer, or if Microsoft Office is installed but you have associated Microsoft Office file types with LibreOffice, then when you double-click on the following files, they open in LibreOffice:.
If you did not associate the file types and Microsoft Office is installed on your computer, then when you double-click on a Microsoft Office file, it opens using the appropriate Microsoft Office component. When LibreOffice is installed on computers running Windows or Linux, a Quickstarter feature may also be installed.
When Quickstarter is activated, the necessary library files are loaded when the computer system is started, resulting in a shorter startup time for LibreOffice components.
On computers operating a Linux or Windows operating system, the default installation of LibreOffice does not set the Quickstarter to load automatically. To activate it:.
To temporarily close Quickstarter on a computer using a Windows operating system, right-click on the Quickstarter icon in the system tray and select Exit Quickstarter in the pop-up menu. However, when the computer is restarted, Quickstarter will be loaded again. To prevent the Quickstarter from loading during system startup, do one of the following:. The main window is similar for each component of LibreOffice, although some details vary. See the relevant chapters in this guide about Writer, Calc, Draw, and Impress for descriptions of those details.
Common features include the Menu bar, standard toolbar, and formatting toolbar at the top of the window and the status bar at the bottom. The Menu bar is located across the top of the LibreOffice window, just below the title bar. When you select one of the menus listed below, a sub-menu drops down to show commands.
LibreOffice has two types of toolbars: docked fixed in place and floating. Docked toolbars can be moved to different locations or made to float, and floating toolbars can be docked. In a default LibreOffice installation, the top docked toolbar, just under the Menu bar, is called the Standard toolbar.
It is consistent across the LibreOffice applications. The second toolbar at the top, in a default LibreOffice installation, is the Formatting bar. It is context-sensitive; that is, it shows the tools relevant to the current position of the cursor or the object selected. For example, when the cursor is on a graphic, the Formatting bar provides tools for formatting graphics; when the cursor is in text, the tools are for formatting text.
In some cases it is convenient to reduce the number of toolbars displayed and get more space for the document. LibreOffice provides a single-toolbar alternative to the default double-toolbar setup. It contains the most-used commands. An active toolbar shows a check-mark beside its name. Toolbars created from tool palettes are not listed in the View menu.
Toolbar icons with a small triangle to the right will display sub-menus , tool palettes , and alternative methods of selecting items, depending on the icon.
Tool palettes can be made into a floating toolbar. Figure 3 shows an example of a tool palette from the Drawing toolbar made into a floating toolbar. Docked toolbars can be undocked and moved to a new docked position or left as a floating toolbar. The toolbar can be docked in a new position at the top, sides or bottom of the main window, or left as a floating toolbar.
To move a floating toolbar, click on its title bar and drag it to a new floating location or dock the toolbar at the top or bottom of the main window. You can also dock a floating toolbar by holding down the Ctrl key and double-clicking in the title bar of the toolbar. LibreOffice includes several additional toolbars, whose default setting appear as floating toolbars in response to the current position of the cursor or selection.
Some of these additional toolbars are context sensitive and will automatically appear depending on the position of the cursor. For example, when the cursor is in a table, a Table toolbar appears, and when the cursor is in a numbered or bullet list, the Bullets and Numbering toolbar appears. You can customize toolbars in several ways, including choosing which icons are visible and locking the position of a docked toolbar.
You can also add icons and create new toolbars, as described in Chapter 14 Customizing LibreOffice. To access the customization options for a toolbar, right-click in an empty space between the icons on a toolbar to open a context menu as follows:.
Visible icons on a toolbar are indicated by an outline around the icon Figure 5 or by a check mark beside the icon, depending on your operating system. Select or deselect icons to hide or show them on the toolbar.
By default, a toolbar will dock at the top of the workspace. You can reposition the toolbar to a different docked position. By default, toolbars will dock at the top of the workspace. You can reposition the toolbars to different docked positions.
Context menus provide quick access to many menu functions. They are opened by right-clicking on a paragraph, graphic, or other object.
When a context menu opens, the functions or options available will depend on the object that has been selected. A context menu can be the easiest way to reach a function, especially if you are not sure where the function is located in the menus or toolbars.
The status bar is located at the bottom of the workspace. It provides information about the document and convenient ways to change some features quickly. It is similar in Writer, Calc, Impress, and Draw, but each LibreOffice component includes some component-specific items. An example of the Writer status bar is shown in Figure 6. Shows the current page, sheet, or slide number and the total number of pages, sheets, or slides in the document.
Double-click on this field to open the Navigator. Other uses of this field depend on the LibreOffice component. Shows the total number of words and characters in the document or in the selection. Shows the current page style or slide design. To edit the current page style or slide design, double-click on this field. To choose a different page style or slide design, right-click on this field and select from the list that pops up.
Shows the current language of the text at the current cursor position. Shows the type of insert mode the program is in. This field is blank if the program is in Insert mode.
Each time the Ins key is pressed, or this field is clicked, the mode toggles between Insert and Overwrite. Click to choose different selection modes. The icon does not change, but when you hover the mouse pointer over this field, a tooltip indicates which mode is active. The icon shown here is different when changes to the document have not been saved. If the document has been digitally signed, an icon shows here.
You can click the icon to sign the document, or to view the existing certificate. Displays information relevant to the position of the cursor or the selected element of the document. Select between Single-page view, Multiple-page view, and Book view to change how your document is displayed.
Indicates the magnification level of the document. Right-click on the percentage figure to open a list of magnification values from which to choose. It contains one or more panels, based on the current document context. Panels are organized into decks. A tab bar on the right side of the sidebar allows you to switch between different decks. A panel is like a combination of a toolbar and a dialog. For example, you can freely mix working in the main edit window to enter text and use the Properties panel in the sidebar to change text attributes.
Tool bars and Sidebar panels share many functions. For example, the buttons for making text bold or italic exist in both the Formatting toolbar and the Properties panel. To hide the Sidebar, click on the gray Hide button on the left. Click on the same button to show the Sidebar again.
To undock the Sidebar and make it floating, and to dock a floating Sidebar, use the drop-down list at the top of the tab bar see Figure 8. From the same list you can choose which items to include in the Sidebar.
