• you save your file under a new name to be on the safe side (see section 41)

• you open your file and choose the menu Edit › Changes › Accept or Reject;

• a list of changes pops up which you can click on and either Accept or Reject

(alternatively you can accept or reject changes directly in your text using the right

mouse button)

• if several people are involved as correctors, each one should have registered their

name under Tools › Options › OpenOffice.org › User Data. This way, any

changes made by any one of the correctors will carry not only date and time of the

change but also the name of the corrector. Each corrector will have his or her own

colour marking

12 Paragraph Style “Text Body”

Now at last we can talk about the

Text Body, the actual content, the

real substance of any lengthy docu-

ment. Like all other elements, the

text body has its own specific para-

graph style, appropriately named

Text body.

Any paragraph can be made into

Text body using the short cut

Ctrl + 0. Right clicking such a

paragraph offers you the option

Edit paragraph style… which

in turn brings up a pop-up menu where you can make a number of adjustments to your para-

graph style.

By default Text body allows for a Spacing below paragraph of 0,21mm, which is

exactly 6pt – which in turn is exactly half the hight of a standard 12pt font. This very

modest spacing is nevertheless enough to highlight the start of a new paragraph. It helps to

lighten the overall impression.

A typical setting for your body text might well be Line spacing of 1.5 lines (see illus-

tration 13). Also you will probably want your text to be justified, meaning that it be

aligned to both left and right margins (unlike headings or a poem, which you would want to be

left aligned with ragged margins). If you do choose Alignment justified, then you

will also need to activate automatic hyphenation (Text flow › Hyphenation › Automat-

ically). Automatic hyphenation is important in order to avoid large gaps in case a long word

doesn’t fit at the end of the line and gets moved to the next line so that the remaining words

sprawl right up to the right margin. Here you can augment the Characters at end of

* Another alternative – one often used in books – is instead to indent the first line by say 3mm. But then you

would need an extra paragraph style for those paragraphs immediately following a heading, which don’t need

any indentation.
