let's take a look at how we made this employment application
It's just a standard table we merge some cells here
and here on the sides
i moved this right border over
for the position applied for
we turned on the bottom border
to get the underlying
to protect the table
i selected the entire table
right-click
cell
protect
so the whole table is protected
now what i want to de-select just the underlined cells so these two
cell unprotect
cell
un-protect
and that's how i got to protected cells
and how i made the table
to make sure the cell protection works we need to turn it on the
tools
options
LibreOffice Writer
formatting aids
and here we see the cursor in protected areas
that needs to be checked
in this example
I've given my table header by making my text bold
and then coloring and this top-line
using my table properties
background
and then i filled in for the row
We'll notice that this table goes over one page
we want this header to go on to the next pages what was the first page
to do that
we will click back on table properties
go into text flow
then
repeat heading
clicking ok
now when we go to our second page we've got our heading on the second page
to turn it off to just uncheck that button
next thing will notice is
the text all seems tight together and doesn't look very nice
to fix that we can do this a couple of ways
the first way is by selecting the entire table
go into table select table
now here i want to change the format of the paragraph
in each cell we've got a paragraph and we want to make some space below the
paragraph
we will make this
about uh...
point two six of an inch
clicking ok and de-selecting it
now it looks a little nice a little more spread out
the other way - let's undo this
and we see that it's all tightly together but still all selected
so i'm going to my table properties
and under the borders tab
we can make the space, already we've got it point four,
we've got it synchronized we will make this about ten twelve synchronized
and then at the bottom we want to make it just a little bit bigger we will make
this one twenty-six
clicking ok
now we see it spaced and from the left and the right and the top as well as the
bottom and just a little more at the bottom
now this doesn't look the greatest at the top
responsible doesn't
quite fit in the way we like we need to bring out our right border just a little
bit
now it all fits in nicely
