What Is Writer?
Writer is the word processor component of Apache OpenOffice. In addition to the usual features of a word processor (spelling check, thesaurus, hyphenation, autocorrect, find and replace, automatic generation of tables of contents and indexes, mail merge and others), Writer provides these important features:
- Templates and styles (see Chapter 2)
- Page layout methods, including frames, columns, and tables
- Embedding or linking of graphics, spreadsheets, and other objects
- Built-in drawing tools
- Master documents to group a collection of documents into a single document
- Change tracking during revisions
- Database integration, including a bibliography database
- Export to PDF, including bookmarks (see Chapter 9)
- And many more
These features are covered in detail in the Writer Guide.

Working with Text
Working with text (selecting, copying, pasting, moving) in Writer is similar to working with text in any other program. Apache OpenOffice also has some convenient ways to select items that are not next to each other, select a vertical block of text, and paste unformatted text.
