1. What are Styles? What are their advantages?

Styles are predefined formatting options that ensure consistent formatting across a document.
Advantages include:

 Consistency throughout the document

 Efficiency in formatting
 Flexibility for making changes
 Improved accessibility for users with assistive technologies

2. Name four styles supported by OpenOffice.org.

OpenOffice.org supports:

 Paragraph Styles: Format entire paragraphs (indentation, line spacing, font size).
 Character Styles: Format individual characters (font type, size, color, style).
 Page Styles: Format the overall page appearance (margins, headers, footers).
 List Styles: Format bulleted or numbered lists (bullet type, indentation, spacing).

3. How can you modify a style?

Styles can be modified by:

 Loading or copying styles from another document or template

 Updating a style based on a selection

4. How can we create our own styles?

You can create styles by:

 From a selection: Copy a new style from an existing one (applied only to that
document).
 Dragging and dropping: Drag a text selection into the Styles and Formatting
window to create a new style.

5. How do styles ensure consistency in collaborative documents?

Using styles in collaborative documents helps ensure everyone uses the same formatting,
leading to a consistent look and better readability.

6. Explain the concept of styles in digital documents.

Styles allow users to apply a set of formatting options (like font size, color, alignment)
quickly. They promote consistency and a polished appearance, save time on formatting, and
enhance document readability. Overall, styles improve efficiency in digital document
processing.

1. What is the need for sharing documents?

Sharing documents allows multiple users to view, edit, or review changes. It's essential when
there are several stakeholders involved.

2. List features not available in Shared Document mode.

Some unavailable features include:

 Edit Changes (except Merge Document)

 Edit Compare Document
  Edit Sheet Move/Copy and Delete
 Data Sort
 Data Subtotals

3. What happens when three users work on non-overlapping ranges in a shared

document?
If there are no conflicts, the document saves successfully, and all changes from other users
are included in the final version.

4. What happens when users work on overlapping ranges?

In case of overlapping changes, a conflict occurs. The "Resolve Conflicts" dialog appears,
requiring users to decide which version to keep for each conflict before saving the document.

5. When is merging documents useful?

Merging is helpful when multiple reviewers provide edited versions of a document. It allows
authorities to see all changes at once, facilitating quicker decision-making rather than
reviewing each document separately.

1. What is the need for using multiple sheets in a workbook? Give an example.
Using multiple sheets helps keep information organized. Different data can be stored in
separate sheets but can still be linked when needed.
Example: Anusha tracks her personal finances across several bank accounts. She can keep
each bank statement in separate sheets and create a summary sheet that links these
statements, allowing her to view all account balances at once.

2. What are document hyperlinks? How are they useful?

A document hyperlink is a clickable link that opens another document (like a spreadsheet,
text file, or image).
Hyperlinks are useful because:

 They prevent documents from becoming too large.

 They provide additional information without cluttering the main document.
 They enhance readability and navigation.

3. Distinguish between the following:

 (a) Relative and Absolute hyperlinks:

o Relative Hyperlinks: Paths that relate to the current document's location.
o Absolute Hyperlinks: Paths that specify the full path from the topmost folder.
 (b) Internet hyperlink vs. Document hyperlink:
o Internet Hyperlink: Links to web documents (URLs).
o Document Hyperlink: Links that open files like spreadsheets or text
documents.

4. How to add a link to one of the three tables in an HTML file (result.html) in Calc?
Steps:

1. Open the sheet where you want to add the link.

2. Click on Insert > Link to External Data.
3. Browse to select the HTML file (result.html).
 4. Choose one of the tables from the loaded HTML file.

1. What are macros? How are they useful?

A macro is a saved sequence of commands or keystrokes that can be reused later. They are
helpful for automating repetitive tasks, allowing users to perform actions once and replay
them multiple times.

2. List some advantages of macros.

 Automation: Macros automate repetitive keystrokes and tasks.

 Error Reduction: They minimize the chance of human error in repetitive tasks.
 Time-Saving: Macros speed up basic computing tasks.
 Ease of Complex Computations: They make complex calculations simpler by
allowing users to run them easily.

3. How to create a macro that returns the cube of a passed value?

In the MyMacros code window, write:

Function Cube(Optional n)
Cube = n * n * n
End Function

1. Name some types of drawing objects supported by Writer.

 Autoshapes
 Curves
 Lines
 Graphics
 TextArts

2. Which toolbar is used to insert:

 (i) Line: Drawing toolbar

 (ii) Arrow: Drawing toolbar
 (iii) Textbox: Drawing toolbar
 (iv) Picture from Gallery: Standard toolbar

3. How is cropping different from scaling?

 Cropping: Removes unwanted parts of an image from its edges, leaving only a
portion of the original image.
 Scaling: Changes the overall size of the image (height and width) while keeping the
entire image intact.

4. Differentiate between Keep scale and Keep image size options while cropping.

 Keep scale: Maintains the original scale of the image after cropping.
 Keep image size: Cropping may distort the image, but the original size remains
unchanged.
5. Explain the following terms regarding graphic positioning:

 (a) Arrangement: Determines the vertical position of a graphic relative to other

objects or text, relevant when objects overlap.
 (b) Text wrapping: Describes how text flows around a graphic. Options include:
o No Wrap: Text is above and below the image only.
o Optimal Page Wrap: Text flows around the image.
o Page Wrap or Wrap Through: Text overlaps the image.
o In Background: The image is placed behind the text.

6. Explain any five graphic filters.

 Invert: Changes colors in color images and adjusts brightness in grayscale images.
 Solarization: Enhances excessive light effects in photographs.
 Posterize: Reduces the number of colors, giving a painted look.
 Charcoal: Displays the image as a charcoal sketch.
 Mosaic: Groups pixels into a single color area.

7. List three methods of inserting images in a text document.

 Drag and Drop

 Inserting from clipboard
 Insert from Scanner

1. What are templates? What are their advantages?

A template is a pre-designed document that you can use to create similar documents.
Templates may include text, graphics, styles, and designs.
Advantages of using templates:

 Easier document creation

 Saves time on styling
 Helps maintain audience interest

2. What is the difference between styles and templates?

 Styles: Ensure consistent formatting within a single document.

 Templates: Allow you to reuse text and maintain a consistent look across multiple
projects.

3. Explain different ways of creating a template.

There are two main ways to create templates:

 From a document:
1. Create or edit a document to use as a template.
2. Fill in desired content and styles.
3. Select File > Templates > Save from the menu.
 Using a wizard:
Wizards can help create templates for letters, faxes, agendas, presentations, and web
pages.
1. What do you mean by a table of contents?
A table of contents (TOC) in Writer is a tool that automatically generates a list of the
document’s headings, providing an organized overview.

2. What is a table of contents in a digital document, and how can it benefit the reader?
A TOC is a list of sections or chapters in a digital document, often with page numbers or
hyperlinks. It helps readers quickly navigate the document by allowing them to locate
specific sections without searching manually, saving time and enhancing the reading
experience.

3. How can the use of a table of contents benefit the author of a digital document?
For authors, a TOC offers several advantages:

 It presents a structured summary of the document's content, making it easier to

understand.
 It helps ensure coherence, reducing confusion for readers.
 It saves time and minimizes errors that can occur when readers search for specific
sections manually.
