CHAPTER 3 Writer Automation (S. 75-76)Writer, as weve seen, can be used for a lot of different tasks, but it really comes into its own when working on long, complex documents such as dissertations, reports, and even books. These documents have words at their heart, and Writer is fundamentally a word processor designed for the purpose of writing and editing text.
Letters can be written in any old text editor, for example, and high- end DTP software will do a better job of dealing with design- intensive documents such as magazines, newspapers, or posters. But Writers main purpose is allowing a user to compose, edit, and organize words. The elements discussed in Chapters 1 and 2 such as frames, images, and paragraph formatting feed into this, and an understanding of these processes provides a good basis for moving onto the options available for automating the organization and production of a finished document.
The document youll be working on in this chapter is a long piece of academic writing (see Figure 3-1), which will allow you to explore many of the automation and document management facilities in Writer. And although this is a specific form of writing, the techniques youll be using to create it are equally useful in other tasks, including letter writing and newsletter design, where consistency is important.
For example, in Chapters 1 and 2, you manually formatted paragraphs and page elements using various tools and options. With Writers style system, you can take that formatting and turn it into a style that can then be applied across a document, to other documents of the same type, or, in the case of the newsletter, in future issues. Any word-processing task that is likely to be repeated can benefit from a little automation.
