In this part of the tutorial you will learn how to:
You are going to make some changes to the chapter heading. First you need to select it so that EasiWriter knows what it is you want to change.
First you will change the size of the heading to 24 points.
The heading size will change to 24 points.
Next you are going to centre the heading and add borders above and below.
A double line will be drawn above and below the heading.
EasiWriter has commands that allow you to change the case of text from UPPERCASE to lowercase and vice versa. It can also capitalise the first letter of each word - Initial Capitals.
The first letter of each word in the heading will be capitalised.
Next you will learn how to change the appearance of the table by altering its width, adding a border, separating the rows with lines and adding a title.
To change the width of a table you first need to select it and then move its left and right margin markers.
The entire table will be selected.
Margin markers can be moved by dragging or by double-clicking on them to open a dialogue box where you can edit the position. You will use both methods.
The table margins will move to their new positions and the entire table will be reformatted automatically.
The final change to be made to the table is to add rules between the rows and to surround it with a border.
A double line will be drawn under the column headings.
Next you are going to draw lines under the next two rows.
The middle two rows of the table will be selected.
Next you can use the Borders command to draw a line under them both.
Lines will be drawn under the selected rows.
Finally you are going to put a shadowed box around the whole table.
A shadowed box will be drawn round the table. In some screen modes the vertical and horizontal lines may not appear to be of equal thickness.
The document is now finished and can be printed if you have a printer connected.
Before printing you must load the RISC OS compatible printer driver that is suitable for your printer by double-clicking on its icon.
When a printer driver is loaded its icon will appear in the icon bar. If a printer driver is not loaded, the Print command will be disabled.
Because some printers use different paper sizes EasiWriter will check to see if the page margins need adjusting. If they do, a dialogue box will warn you; click OK to reformat the document.
The print dialogue box will appear where you can choose:
In this case you can accept the default choices.
The document will be printed.
