- | In the last article we used paragraph styles to format our document by creating reusable styles for consistency in our document. In this article we will create a more advanced layout using frames. While there are programs, like Scribus, which are designed more specifically toward more advanced layouts, LibreOffice gives us several tools which allow us to produce documents with more than just a simple, letter-style layout. One of the most useful of these tools is the frame. | + | **In the last article we used paragraph styles to format our document by creating reusable styles for consistency in our document.

- | You can think of frames as boxes used to control the flow of text, graphics, and other elements in your document. One of the key features of frames is their ability to link together. When two frames are linked, the text from one frame automatically flows into the other, even if the two frames are on different pages. This feature makes frames ideal for newsletters and other article-based documents. | + | You can think of frames as boxes used to control the flow of text, graphics, and other elements in your document.

- | By default, frames have a border on all four sides, but we want a border only at the bottom of our frame. On the Borders tab, select the first box under the Line Arrangement defaults. This will clear all the borders. Check at the bottom of the the User-defined box to create a bottom border. | + | **We will create the beginning article layout, shown in figure 1, using frames to control the flow of the article text. Start by creating a new document. Now, in the menus, go to Insert > Frame. The frame dialog will pop up. On the type tab, check Relative for both Width and Height. Set the Width to 100% and the Height to 25%. In the position section, set the Horizontal to From Left by 0.00” to Paragraph area. Set the Vertical position to From Top by 0.00” to Margin. |

- | Now, let’s create a frame for the bottom half of the article. Click below the header frame. Once again in the menus, choose Insert > Frame. Again, we want a relative width and height. Set the width to 100% and the height to 75%. Set the horizontal position to From Left by 0.00” to Paragraph area. On the Options tab, name the frame “Article Body.” On the Borders tab, clear all the borders. | + | Now, let’s create a frame for the bottom half of the article. Click below the header frame.

- | Now, we need the body of our article to have two columns. This is done on the Columns tab. Change the number of columns to 2, and set the spacing to 6%. Click on OK, and your new frame appears. You may need to manually adjust the position of your frames to get them to line up correctly. You adjust the frames position by clicking on the border of the frames. You will see green handles appear on the border. The green handles are used to adjust the size of the frame. We shouldn't need to change the size - just tweak the position. Click and drag on the border where there are no handles to adjust the position of the frames. To make fine adjustments to the position of your frame use the Alt+Arrow keys. | + | Par défaut, les cadres ont une bordure sur les quatre côtés, mais nous voulons une bordure uniquement en bas de notre cadre.

Click OK to accept this change and return to the document. | + | Nous avons maintenant terminé avec le paramétrage de ce cadre-ci. Nous y reviendrons lorsque nous serons prêts à lier nos cadres.

In the document, click inside the header frame. Format a title and byline using any of the methods discussed in previous articles. Now, begin to type the paragraphs for your document. You will notice that when you get to the bottom of the first frame, Writer will automatically move you to the lower frame, and when you reach the bottom of the first column, writer will take you the top of the second. If your article is more than one page long, you could link “Article Body” frame to a frame on another page. This linking is a powerful way to control the layout and flow of an article to create a very professional looking document. | In the document, click inside the header frame.

Let's add a graphic to our header frame: Insert > Picture > From File. Select the graphic you want to insert, and click Open. If the image is too big for your document, you will want to resize it.

- | Graphics in LibreOffice are actually frames. When you double-click on a graphic in a document, you get a frame dialog with two new tabs: Picture and Crop. On the Picture tab, you can flip the image vertically or horizontally. You can specify whether the flip happens on just certain pages or on all pages. On the Crop tab, you can adjust the left, right, top, and bottom to crop out certain parts of the image. This is handy when you need only a part of the image, or need to force the image to a certain size without distorting the image’s aspect ratio. Also, you can scale the image to a certain size based on a percentage of the original image size. You can see or change the image size by measurement units as well. | + | Graphics in LibreOffice are actually frames.

- | On the right-click menu of an image, you can add a description or caption to the image. Adding a caption creates a text frame around the image with the text at the bottom. This feature is useful for marking illustrations or diagrams in your document. Once you have created the caption, you can highlight it and format it just like you would any other text in a document. | + | Dans le document, cliquez à l' |

Hopefully, you have gotten some idea of the power of using frames. While our example was fairly simple, you could easily create a more complex document layout using frames. With the ability to link frames, you can create a newsletter layout where articles start on one page, jump to another, and end on yet another. | Hopefully, you have gotten some idea of the power of using frames.
