Using Writer As An Html Editor; Using Spreadsheets With Calc - Novell LINUX ENTERPRISE DESKTOP 10 SP1 - GNOME 23-05-2007 Manual

TIP: The styles from all of your subdocuments are imported into the master document. To ensure
that formatting is consistent throughout your master document, you should use the same template
for each subdocument. Doing so is not mandatory; however, if subdocuments are formatted
differently, you might need to do some reformatting to successfully bring subdocuments into the
master document without creating inconsistencies. For example, if two documents imported into
your master document include different styles with the same name, the master document will use the
formatting specified for that style in the first document you import.

3.2.6 Using Writer as an HTML Editor

In addition to being a full-featured word processor, Writer also functions as an HTML editor. Writer
includes HTML tags that can be applied as you would any other style in a Writer document. You can
view the document as it will appear online, or you can directly edit the HTML code.
Creating an HTML Document
1 Click File > New > HTML Document.
2 Click the arrow at the bottom of the Formatting and Styles window.
3 Select HTML Styles.
4 Create your HTML document, using the styles to tag your text.
5 Click File > Save As.
6 Select the location where you want to save your file, name the file, and select HTML Document
7 Click OK.
If you prefer to edit HTML code directly, or if you want to see the HTML code created when you
edited the HTML file as a Writer document, click View > HTML Source. In HTML Source mode,
the Formatting and Styles list is not available.
NOTE: The first time you switch to HTML Source mode, you are prompted to save the file as
HTML, if you have not already done so.

3.3 Using Spreadsheets with Calc

Calc is the OpenOffice.org spreadsheet application. Create a new spreadsheet with File > New >
Spreadsheet or open one with File > Open. Calc can read and save in Microsoft Excel's format, so it
is easy to exchange spreadsheets with Excel users.
NOTE: Calc can process many VBA macros in Excel documents; however, support for VBA
macros is not yet complete. When opening an Excel spreadsheet that makes heavy use of macros,
you might discover that some do not work.
In the spreadsheet cells, enter fixed data or formulas. A formula can manipulate data from other cells
to generate a value for the cell in which it is inserted. You can also create charts from cell values.
