Parts of the Writer Window
                 The main window of the LibreOffice is similar to almost all open office applications. Let us now study the parts of the
                 LibreOffice Writer window:
                 •  Title Bar: It is the top bar of the window. On the left side, it displays the name of the application as LibreOffice
                   Writer along with the active document name. In the given screen the default name—Untitled 1—is displayed. For
                   the next new document, it will be Untitled 2, then Untitled 3, and so on. So we see that the name Untitled remains
                   the same for the new document but the number keeps on increasing by 1. This is how the naming process follows
                   in LibreOffice.
                   On the right side it displays control menu—Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons. These buttons control the size
                   of the active window on the screen.

                 •  Menu Bar: It is located just below the Title Bar. It contains menus—File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Styles, Table,
                   Form, Tools, Window and Help—which when clicked opens sub-menus and options that help you use different
                   features of LibreOffice Writer.
                   The sub-menu item which shows three dots ‘...’ just after the sub-menu name, will open another dialog box. The
                   sub-menu item with the arrow ‘’ will open another sub-menu.

                 •  Toolbars: The tool bar appears just below the Menu Bar. By default, the Standard Toolbar and Formatting Toolbar
                   appears on the window. To open other toolbars Select View Menu  Toolbars. The user can choose the required
                   toolbars by clicking on it. The selected toolbar will show the  sign before the name of the toolbar.
                 •  Standard Toolbar: It is located just below the Menu Bar. It has buttons related to basic standard functions like New,
                   Open, Save, etc., which are standard across all applications of LibreOffice.


                 •  Formatting Toolbar: It is located just below the Standard Toolbar. It contains buttons related to formatting the text
                   like bold, italics, underline, superscript, subscript, font size, font style etc.

                 •  Horizontal and Vertical Ruler: They help you align the text, tables, margins, indents, tabs and other elements of
                   your document.
                 •  Status Bar: This is positioned at the left bottom of the Writer window. It displays the number of pages, word count,
                   character count, page style, language, view layout, zoom slider, etc.

                 •  Horizontal and Vertical Scroll bar: They help you scroll the window. The horizontal scrollbar helps you scroll left and
                   right side of the document. The vertical scrollbar helps you scroll to the top and bottom portion of the document
                 •  Zoom: The Zoom slider with a Zoom Percent allows you to view the document in a scalable mode, i.e., if you wish to
                   enlarge the screen to see the picture and the document in enlarged version then this scale is highly helpful. It does
                   not affect the physical document.

                 •  Workspace: This is the actual working area where the cursor blinks and the user can type, edit and use all the
                   features of the application software.

                 Different Views of a Document
                 Writer has three ways to view a document: Normal, Web, and Full Screen. To change the view, go to the View menu
                 and click the required view.
                 •  Normal View: This is the default view of a document. It gives you a complete view of the document as it appears
                   in the print out. It displays the headers and footers, page margins, actual content with proper line spacing in lines
                   and paragraphs. This view implements the important feature WYSIWYG. You can use View menu  Zoom option to
                   increase or decrease the size of the view.
