Eastbourne Downlands Computer Club members discuss 'Writer'
and live on Freeview channel 276
In this session we looked at 'Writer' which allows the composition, editing and reading of documents not only from 'Writer' but it can also can open documents and edit them from those composed with Microsoft ''Word'.
We spent most of the session looking at what were the jobs of the tools represented by the icons displayed on the toolbar at the top of the computer screen and what they did when composing or editing a document. There is a limited number of icons displayed and they are not the whole list so a tip was given to how more could be added such as the tools for increasing/decreasing with a single click the size of all the script that is highlighted.
