Write, you can immediately begin typing.

Buttons are on the Edit tab. Also, you can use keyboard shortcuts: <strong>ctrl + c</strong> (copy); <strong>ctrl + v</strong> (paste); <strong>ctrl + x</strong> (cut); <strong>ctrl + z</strong> (undo); and <strong>ctrl + y</strong> (redo). -</p> -<p>Highlight the text you would like to copy by dragging the cursor across it with the left mouse-button depressed.

Take care when you use them and don't rely on a table for meaning. -</p> -<h2> Saving your work -</h2> -<p> Write automatically saves your work to the Journal. You can resume editing a document clicking its icon in the Journal. -</p> -<p>By default, Write stores documents in the ODT file format. ODT is the OpenDocument format for text documents and this format can be opened with OpenOffice. -</p> -<p>However, there are times when you may prefer to output your document in another format. The Keep button lets you save a copy of your document in rich text (RTF), hypertext (HTML), or plain text (TXT) formats in the Journal. -</p> -<p><img title="keep" alt="keep" src="Write/basics/keep.png" width="214" height="296" /> -</p> -<h3>Importing documents -</h3> -<p>Write can import a variety of file formats, including Microsoft Word® DOC files. If you have a DOC file in your Journal (or on removable media), you can open it in Write using the Resume button. -</p> -<p>In the example below, a Word document is opened in Write from a USB storage device. - <br /> -</p> -<p> <img title="Word_in_write" alt="Word_in_write" src="Write/basics/Word_in_write.png" width="600" height="450" /> -</p> -<h2>View -</h2> -<p>Write lets you zoom into and out of the page. -</p> -<p><img title="view_large" alt="view_large" src="Write/basics/view_large.png" width="600" height="450" /> -</p> -<p><img title="view_small" alt="view_small" src="Write/basics/view_small.png" width="600" height="450" /> - <br /> -</p> -<p /> - - -<p /> - <p> -Author : <i>Basics</i> <br/>© Walter Bender 2008<br/>Modifications:<br/>adam hyde 2008<br/>Tom Boyle 2008<br/><hr/><br>License : General Public License -</p> -<p>Produced in FLOSS Manuals (<a href='http://www.flossmanuals.net'>http://www.flossmanuals.net</a>) -</p> -</div> -</body> -</html></body>
