DIFFERENT VIEWS OF A DOCUMENT
A document created can be seen in three different layouts by using the given options in the View Menu. Let us learn
about them.
Print Layout
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 → Zoom to increase or decrease the size of the view.
Web Layout
It gives you the view of the document as it appears in online mode when opened in any browser. You can use
View → Zoom to increase or decrease the size of the view.

Full Screen
In this view, the document fills the entire screen. This feature can be used in both Print Layout and Web Layout. Only
the page in the full screen will be displayed with no menu bar, toolbars and scrollbars. Close the Full Screen by pressing
Esc key will be displayed to help you exit the full screen view.

A word processor is commonly used to create, edit, format, and print documents.
WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get.
Status Bar is located at the bottom of the OpenOffice Writer interface.
The Zoom Slider with a Zoom Percent allows you to view the document in a scalable mode.
START A NEW DOCUMENT
Let’s create a new document by selecting File → New or by pressing Ctrl + N.
The default name of the new document is Untitled 1.
The new file will have a vertical bar/cursor blinking on the top left corner of
the blank document. This is also known as Insertion point and the character
you type will be inserted here and it moves the insertion point to the right.
You can click anywhere in the document or use arrows keys in any direction
to move the insertion point. Wherever this insertion point lies there the
cursor blinks and is ready to take input from the keyboard.
