Free tutorials for LibreOffice

This tutorial explains how to format a newspaper article with LibreOffice Writer. It shows the main tools available in Writer to prepare a clear press-style document with structured content, visual elements, formulas, media, and export options.

Writer is a word processor comparable to its non-free counterpart, Word.

It also allows for:

• the integration and creation of tables and graphs,
• a style system similar to that of Word,
• the integration of mathematical formulas,
• the addition of links to open other files,
• the insertion of media (images, videos, sounds) in various formats (WAV, AVI, MPEG…),
• exporting to PDF, HTML, DOC, or plain text files.

These features are useful when preparing a newspaper article because they help organize text, illustrate information, and produce a document that can be shared in several file formats.
