An important part of writing documents with a computer is that you can move text around. This saves retyping information.

You can highlight the text you want to move by Holding down CTRL (control key) and pressing A

To copy the text use CTRL – C To paste the text use CTRL – V
To cut the text use CTRL – X

Or you can use the tool bar icons

This is changed in the same way. Highlight the text and select the option you would like from the drop down list.

Text Formatting

Once Libreoffice Writer has started you can enter some text.

writerplustext

I have added some lipsum text to illustrate the images. But once you have a paragraph or two of text, you may want to make your document look better.

One way to do this is to add headings.

Headings and titles stand out more if they are BOLD this can be achieved with:

Bold Underline Italic

The video below illustrates this operation

So we can also use any combination of the three. Here I have finished with a heading that is all three.
