                  LibreOffice Writer is a word processing software that is used to type text. In the
                  previous class, you have learnt how to open, save, print and close a document in

                  LibreOffice Writer. In this chapter, you will learn how to edit text. Making changes
                  in the existing text is called editing.
                  There are many features of LibreOffice Writer which allows us to do the editing
                  easily. Let's learn some features of LibreOffice Writer.

                       The Find and Replace feature is used to quickly find a word or sentence and
                      replace it with another word or sentence.
                       The Thesaurus feature give us facility to pick up better words with the help of
                      inbuilt dictionary of Writer.

                       The Change Case feature provides quick editing of entire paragraph or whole
                      document.
                      Spell check feature is used to check the spelling mistakes.

                      STARTING LIBREOFFICE WRITER



                  Click on the LibreOffice Writer icon from the Launcher                  to open any document.

                  By default Writer opens up with a blank document named Untitled 1.
                  We notice a small blinking line which is known as cursor or insertion point. It
                  helps us to locate the location where our text would appear when typed. We type
                  the text on the workspace (blank area) and the cursor automatically shifts towards
                  right side.
