Using Fontwork
With Fontwork you can create graphical text art objects to make your work more attractive. There
are many different settings for text art objects (line, area, position, size, and more), so you have a
large choice.
Fontwork is available with each component of LibreOffice, but you will notice small differences in
the way that each component displays it.
Creating a Fontwork object
1) On the Fontwork toolbar (View > Toolbars > Fontwork) or the Drawing toolbar (View >
Toolbars > Drawing), click the Fontwork Gallery icon .
2) In the Fontwork Gallery (Figure 309), select a Fontwork style, then click OK. The Fontwork
object will appear in your document. Notice the colored squares around the edge (indicating
that the object is selected) and the yellow dot; these are discussed in “Moving and resizing
Fontwork objects” on page 326.

3) Double-click the object to edit the Fontwork text (see Figure 310). Select the text and type
your own text in place of the black Fontwork text that appears over the object.
