Context menu
When an object is selected and you right-click on the object, a context menu (Figure 199) opens
that applies to the selected object. You can change object attributes without having to open a
dialog. Menu entries with a small arrow on the right-hand side contain a submenu.

Formatting lines and borders
In LibreOffice the term line indicates both a freestanding segment (line), outer edge of a shape
(border), or an arrow. In most cases the properties of the line you can modify are its style (solid,
dashed, invisible, and so on), its width, and its color.
Select the line you need to format and then use the controls on the Line and Filling toolbar to
change the most common options (highlighted in Figure 200).
