Resizing the image ;-

In LibreOffice Writer, resizing an image allows you to adjust its dimensions to fit your document
layout or to emphasize its visual impact. Here’s how you can resize an image and manage its
properties:

Resizing an Image:
1. Select the Image: Click on the image in your LibreOffice Writer document to select it. You'll
know it's selected when you see selection handles (small squares) around the edges of the
image.
2. Resize Handles: Position your mouse cursor over one of the corner handles (small squares) of
the selected image. These handles are used to resize the image proportionally.
3. Drag to Resize: Click and drag the handle inward to decrease the size or outward to increase it.
As you drag, you’ll see the image dimensions .
4. Maintain Proportions: By default, LibreOffice Writer maintains the aspect ratio of the image,
meaning if you resize using a corner handle, both the width and height will change
proportionally. This ensures the image doesn’t distort.
5. Resize Using Keyboard Shortcut (Optional): For more precise resizing, you can hold down
the Shift key while dragging a handle. This locks the aspect ratio, allowing you to resize
proportionally from the center of the image.

Wrapping text around an image in LibreOffice Writer allows you to control how text flows around the
image within your document. Here’s how you can wrap text around an image:

Wrapping Text Around an Image:

1. Insert or Select the Image: Start by inserting an image into your LibreOffice Writer document
using the methods described earlier. Alternatively, if the image is already inserted, click on it to
select it.
2. Access the Wrap Options:
 • Right-click on the selected image. This will bring up a context menu.
• From the context menu, hover over or click on "Wrap".You will see several options for
how text wraps around the image:
• In Background: Text flows behind the image.
• In Paragraph: Text wraps around the image, adjusting with the paragraph alignment.
• Before: Text wraps around the image, and the image is positioned before the text.
• After: Text wraps around the image, and the image is positioned after the text.
• Through: Text wraps around the image, and the image stays with the text that it is anchored to.

Ques 4. discuss the importance of using styles in libre office writer.provide an example
of how to create a new paragraph style and apply it to the multiple paragraphs in a
document .
Using styles in LibreOffice Writer is crucial for several reasons, primarily for consistency, efficiency,
and ease of document management. Here’s a discussion on the importance of using styles, along with
an example of creating and applying a new paragraph style:
Importance of Using Styles in LibreOffice Writer:
1. Consistency: Styles ensure that your document maintains a consistent appearance throughout,
including fonts, sizes, colors, and formatting such as headings, paragraphs, and lists. This
consistency makes documents look more professional and easier to read.
2. Efficiency: By using styles, you can quickly format text and entire sections of your document
with just a few clicks. This saves time and effort compared to manually formatting each
paragraph or heading individually.
3. ease of Updates: If you need to change the formatting of a certain type of text (e.g., all
headings or all body paragraphs), styles allow you to update the entire document uniformly by
modifying the style definition.
4. Accessibility: Styles improve accessibility by providing structure to your document. Screen
readers and other assistive technologies can interpret the document more accurately when styles
are used consistently for headings, paragraphs, and other elements
5. Document Organization: Styles help in organizing your document by visually distinguishing
different sections, headings, and content types. This makes navigating through long documents
easier for both authors and readers.
