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.
