Digital Documentation (Advanced) using LibreOffice
Writer
LibreOffice Writer offers a variety of features and commands that enable you to create an
attractive and presentable document with a consistent format. Further, such documents are
easy to read, comprehend and edit by one and all. Creating
a big report with consistent format becomes difficult when manual formatting is used. To
avoid inconsistency in formatting and reduce time and effort in formatting a document, we
use Styles in Writer by using– style formats, creating new styles, updating styles, applying
styles and using template to format the current document. A document with pictures is always
easier to understand than a text document. Pictures have a visual appeal, as our brain
responds quickly to colours in comparison to any other form of information. In digital
document, a picture can be a drawing, chart, photo, logo, graph or single video frame.
LibreOffice Writer provides various tools to work with images. In this Unit you will
learn to create a document with pictures, insert and modify images in the document to make it
more attractive. To give the listing of the contents of the document, we can use the Table of
Contents feature, which is based on different types of heading styles. LibreOffice Writer also
provides templates to create professional documents.

Unit – 2
Electronic Spreadsheet (Advanced) using LibreOffice
Calc
In the modern digital world, one of the most important thing is counting and calculations. In
computers we can do the calculations on number of records spread over the long sheet using
the spreadsheet software that helps to work with numbers efficiently. It becomes easy to
visualise a huge grid of numbers when represented using charts in electronic spreadsheet. It
includes – analysing data to extract useful information for making effective decisions.
Macros, is the another powerful feature of spreadsheet covered in this unit. Macros are a set
of stored functions used to automate processes repeatedly. You can create multiple sheets and
link the data in multiple sheets. It can be done in two ways, one is creating reference to other
sheets by using keyboard and mouse, and other is by linking external data.
LibreOffice Calc also provides the sharing feature that allows to share the spreadsheet for
editing purpose. This saves to keep track of multiple copies of the same spreadsheet corrected
by different users. Sharing allows the users to work on the same spreadsheet in collaboration.
Assignment 1: What is the use of Data Consolidation? Write steps to perform this
action?
Solution:
Consolidate is a function used to combine information from multiple sheets of the
spreadsheet into one place to summarize the information. It is used to view and compare
variety of data in a single spreadsheet for identifying trends and relationships.
Let us create the following sheets in a spreadsheet sale.
Step 1: Add a new sheet and rename it as Consolidate
Step 2: Click on Data > Consolidate or use the keyboard shortcut key ALT+D, the
Consolidate dialog window will open
Step 3: In the Function box, choose Sum function from the drop down as we want to add the
data from all the sheets.
Step 4: Click in the Source data ranges box and then click on the worksheet ABC_Branch
and select the area to be consolidated and then click on the Add button will add the copy
reference in the consolidation ranges.
6
Step 5: Click on the sheet XYZ_Branch and select the area to be consolidated and then click
on ADD will add the next consolidation range.
Step 6: Click on the ‘+’ sign next to Options in the Consolidate dialog window to change the
settings. ‘Consolidate by’ has two options Row labels and Column labels. Check row label or
column label or both if you want to consolidate it by matching the label. If Link to source
data is checked, then it will keep on updating the data of the Consolidate sheet automatically
if there is any change made in the selected range.
Step 7: Click on ‘Copy results to’ and then click on any of the cell in the Consolidate sheet
where you want to copy the final result after consolidation.
Step 8: Click on OK button. It will display the Consolidate sheet with data after
consolidation.
Assignment 2: What is Goal Seek? Write steps to perform this action.
Solutions:
Goal Seek helps in finding out the input for the specific output. For example, if you want to
know the number of units produced to get the desired output then use Goal seek analysis tool.
Follow the following steps after creating this data to use Goal seek tool to change marks of
SST from 30 to desired marks.
Step 1: Enter the values in the worksheet.
Step 2: Write the formula in the cell (B7) where the calculation has to be used.
Step 3: Place the cursor in the formula cell(B7), choose Tools > Goal Seek.
Step 4: The Goal seek dialog window will appear, the Formula cell box will have the correct
formula.
Step 5: Place the cursor on the Variable cell box and click on the cell (B6) that contains the
value to be changed.
7
Step 6: Enter the desired result in the Target value box.
Step 7: Click on OK button.
Assignment 3: What is Macro? How can we record macro for any operation?
Solution:
A macro is a single instruction that executes a set of instructions. These set of instructions
can be a sequence of commands or keystrokes that can be used for any number of times later.
A sequence of actions such as keystrokes and clicks can be recorded and then run as per the
requirement. Record a macro to apply the following style to the Heading “Data Analysis” in
the cell A1. The font style should be “Times New Roman “The font size should be “14” The
font colour should be “Blue “Cells from A1 to G1 should be merged and centred.
Step 1: Create the spreadsheet. Write the heading “Data Analysis” in cell A1.
Step 2: Choose Tools > Macros > Record Macro. Perform the actions mentioned in
Assignment 2
in the spreadsheet.
Step 3: Click Stop Recording to stop the Macro Recorder.
Step 4: The Basic Macro dialog appears, in which you can save and run the macro.
Step 5: A Standard library is present by default when a spreadsheet is created and saved.
Step 6: To save the macro, first select the object where you want to save the macro in the
Save macro in list box. You can change the name of the macro. Here, we have named
the macro as Format Heading.
Note: If all the macros will be given the same name then they will overwrite the previous
Macro created by that name.
Assignment 4: What is use of Hyperlink in LibreOffice Calc? Explain with an
example.
Solution:
Sometimes it is required to jump to a document stored at a different location from within a
document. It can be done by creating a hyperlink.
8
It is possible to jump from a sheet in the same spreadsheet, different spreadsheet or a website
by creating a hyperlink. Suppose, you have to hyperlink a Result sheet of “Result-X-A”
spreadsheet document in the “Result-X-B” spreadsheet document, then follow the following
steps:
Step 1: Open the Result X-B spreadsheet document.
Step 2: From the main menu, select and click on Insert > Hyperlink.
An Hyperlink dialog box will open.
Step 3: To insert the spreadsheet document, click on the Document on the
left pan of dialog box, then to select the spreadsheet document, click on the buttonlocated
after the Path. Select the required document. In our case we select the spreadsheet document
“Result-X-A”.
Step 4: Then click on the Target button to choose the sheet which is to be hyperlinked.
Target in Document helps to specifically choose a target in the document such as sheet,
tables, frames, images, headings and so on. Here in our case we will select the sheet Result.
Step 5: Click on Apply and Close button to exit the Target Document window.
Step 6: Enter the text in the Text box to assign the hyperlink to that text. In our case we have
entered the text as “Result-X-A”. So the hyperlink will be assigned to the text “Result-X-A”.
Step 7: Click on Apply and Close button to confirm the changes and exit the Hyperlink
dialog box.
Step 8: Observe that the hyperlink is assigned to the word “Result-X-A”.
Step 9: To open the hyperlinked sheet, press the Ctrl key and click on the hyperlinked word
“Result X-A”, the sheet will be opened in the new window.
Assignment 5: What is the use of sharing of Worksheet? How can we share any
worksheet in LibreOffice Calc? Write steps.
Solution:
In LibreOffice Calc, one spreadsheet can be used by more than one user at a time by sharing
it. A shared spreadsheet is a same sheet that can be accessed by more than one user and can
allow them to make changes simultaneously on it. It saves the trouble of keeping track of
multiple copies of the same spreadsheet. Sharing allows working in collaboration so that
everyone can contribute, make changes and view it. Sharing a spreadsheet is just like
teamwork to work in collaboration with other users. The following are the steps to share the
spreadsheet.
Step 1: Open a new spreadsheet and save it with some name.
Step 2: Select and click on Tools > Share Spreadsheet from main menu bar. This will open
the Share Document dialog window which can be used to enable or disable sharing option.

Step 5: Once the spreadsheet is saved, the name of the spreadsheet in the title bar will display
(shared) along with the name of the spreadsheet.
Unit – 3
Database Management System using LibreOffice Base
Databases and database systems are essential parts of our life. We have been interacting with
databases since a time. Recall the process of looking for a wording a dictionary or finding the
telephone number of a friend from the telephone directory. With the advancement in ever
changing technology, computerized databases are being used to store, manipulate, and
manage the database. Today, we use databases in almost all spheres of life. When we go to
book railway tickets, to search for a book in a library, to get the salary details, to get
the balance amount after withdrawal of money from the ATM and so on, this listcan run into
several pages. Data being stored in databases can be of varied types like text, images, audio
and video. This data is then stored and/or processed soaps to get meaningful information.
Data and Information
Data:
The raw facts constitute data. The facts may be related to any person, place,
activity or things. It may be stored in the form of text, graphics, audio or video.
Information:
Information is the processed or organized form of data. If data is not correct or accurate, the
information obtained by processing such data may not be correct. For example, marks
obtained by students and their roll numbers is the data, while the report card/sheet is the
Information.
Assignment 1: Ruhi has created database name Sports Day, now she wants to
create table in Design view help her to fulfil her task.
Solution:
Let us help Ruhi to create a table named Events using in the option Create Table in Design
view in the Sports Day database. After clicking on Design view follow the following steps
to do so.
Step 1: Type the first field name (EventID) in the Field Name column. Press Tab key. The
cursor moves to the second column i.e. Field Type.
Step 2: The Field Type column contains a list box. As you click on the down-arrow, it
appears and we can select the desired data type from the list box. Select the
datatype (Varchar).
Step 3: Observe that certain properties appear in the Field Properties Pane as the data type is
selected. Some of the properties are Entry required, Length, Default value, Format example.
Set the desired properties for the entered field.
Step 4: Press Tab key to move to the next column. Add any description if you want in the
third column.
10
Step 5: Once the properties for the field are set, press Tab key to move to next row. Selecting
data type for field Fields entered using Creating Table in Design View
Step 6: Enter the next field by repeating steps 1,2 and 3. Repeat the process for adding all
fields in the table.
Steps 7: After creating the table, you need to save it on the disk. To save the table click on the
save button or follow menu option File > Save As. Enter the name of table and click on OK
button.
Assignment 2: What do understand by Referential Integrity? Explain with a
suitable example.
Solution:
A relationship can help prevent data redundancy. It helps prevent missing
data by keeping deleted data from getting out of synch. This is called referentialintegrity. We
will study in detail about referential integrity later in the chapter. Creating relationships
between tables restricts the user from entering invalid data in the referenced fields. Any
updating in the master table is automatically reflected in the transaction tables. There are two
tables in the database – Events and EventCategory with a common field as CategoryID. In
Event table, EventID is the primary key and CategoryID is the foreign key. In EventCategory
table, CategoryID is the primary key. To set up relationship between these tables follow the
following steps.
Step 1: From main menu of LibreOffice Base, click on Tools > Relationships…
Step 2: The Relationship Design screen will appear. In the middle of the screen there is Add
Tables dialog box. Both the tables are listed in the dialog box.
Step 3: In the Add Tables dialog box, click Events table and then click Add button. Similarly
add EventCategory table to the Relationship Area.
Step 4: Click Close button to close the Add Tables dialog box. Observe that the tables Events
and EventCategory table added to the Relationship Area along with all its field list.
Step 5: As discussed before, CategoryID is the common field in the two tables. Hence it will
be used to set a relationship between the two tables. To create a relation Add Tables dialog
box in Relationship Design Screen Events and EventCategory Tables added in Relationship
Design window
Relationship between two tables between the two tables, we just have to drag the commonfiel
d CategoryID from the Events table and drop it in EventCategory table. Aline connecting
both the tables with the common field (CategoryID) appears.
Assignment 3: Explain Form with a suitable example. Write steps using wizard.
11
Solution: A form is an object of the database that has a user friendly interface where data
can be entered and seen in an attractive and easy-to-read format. For any database, it is
the front end for data entry and data modification.
Creating a Form Using a Wizard is the simplest way to create a form. To explain how to
create a form using a wizard, we will get back to the Sports Day database created in the
previous chapters. To create a form using wizard, follow the following steps.
Step 1: Open the Sports Day database created in LibreOffice, and click the Form icon on the
Database Pane. Click the option Use Wizard to Create Form… on the Tasks Pane.
Step 2: The step 1 of the wizard is to select the tables or queries for which the form has to be
created. As we are creating a form for Events table, select Events table from “Tables and
queries” list box.
Step 3: After selecting the Events table, all the fields of the Events table will be listed in the
Available Fields list box.
Step 4: As we require all the fields to appear in the Form, shift all the fields of Event table
from Available Fields list box to Fields in the Form list box using>> button. Observe that, all
the fields are shifted to Fields in the Form list box. Click on Next button to move forward.
Step 5: The second step consists of setting up a sub form, i.e. a form within form. You need
to check the checkbox “Add Sub form” to add the sub form. Since we do not want to set up
any sub form, click Next button to proceed further.
Step 6: The wizard skips the next two steps that relate to the sub form and moves on to step 5.
This step arranges controls i.e. to set up the design of the form. Observe that, by default, all
controls will be left aligned. Four layouts are given in this step of the wizard to choose from:
• Columnar display with Labels on the left of the field value• Columnar display with Labels
on top of the field value• Display as datasheet• Block display with labels on top
Let us select Columnar Display with labels on the left arrangement. Also note that as we
choose the Layout type, the fields are arranged in the Form Design view also.
Step 7: Click Next button.
Step 8: The step 6 of the wizard asks whether the form will be used for displaying data,
entering data or both. As we go with the default settings, so we click Next button.
Step 9: The next step is to apply styles to the form being created.
Step 10: Click Next button.
Step 11: The next step is to set the name of the form. Say Events Form. Click Modify the
form option.
Step 12: Click Finish button.
Assignment 4: Write steps for Adding a calendar for the date field.
Solution:
Adding a calendar for the date field While filling up a form on a computer, mostly a calendar
is displayed. This is because it is easy to choose a date rather than typing it. To add the
calendar to the date field in the form, follow the steps given below:
Step 1: Place the mouse pointer over the Date text box and press Ctrl+Click to select it.
12
Step 2: Right click and select Control Properties…. option.
Step 3: In the Properties: Date Field dialog box, scroll down for Date Format property. By
default, Standard (short) format will be displayed.
Step 4: Click to open the list box and select Standard (long) format.
Step 5: Scroll down further till you find the Dropdown property. By default, its value will be
No. Select Yes.
Step 6: Close the dialog box. The selected date control text box on the form changes to a list
box with an arrow being displayed in the extreme right as.
Assignment 5: Define Report. Write steps to create a report.
Solution:
A report is another useful feature of a database management system. We have seen that the
records that have been extracted using a query are displayed in simple row and column
format. Instead, using a report we can present the retrieved data in an attractive and
customized manner. We can create a report based on a table or a query or both. Let us create
a report using the table Events from the Sports Day database. Follow the following steps to
create a report.
Step 1: In the LibreOffice Base User Interface, click on the Reports icon in the Database
Pane.
Step 2: From the Tasks Pane, click Use Wizard to Create Report… option.
Step 3: The Report wizard along with two other windows will be displayed. One of the
window is Report Builder window and the other is Add Field dialog box. We will confine our
study to the wizard.
Step 4: The first step of wizard is to select the table and the corresponding fields that we want
to display in our report. From the Tables or Queries list box, select the table Events.
Step 5: All the fields of the Events table will be listed in the Available Fields list box. Click
>> button to shift all the fields to Fields in report list box.
Step 6: Click on the Next button. The next step is to label the fields.
Step 7: Click on the Next button.
Step 8: The fourth step is to set the Sort options. If the data to be displayed in the report has
to be sorted in either ascending or descending order of a particular field, specify the field and
sorting order in this step.
Step 9: Click on the Next button to move on to the next step in which the layout of the report
will be selected.
Step 10: Out of various Layout options given, choose the desired layout, say Tabular and also
the layout of headers and footers (Default). You may also choose the orientation option
Landscape or Portrait in this step.
Step 11: Click on the Next button to move to last step. Type the name of the report as Events
Report.
13
Step 12: Click on Finish button to display the report.
