![]() I added the name of the month and date to the top of each monthly template.Ĭhoosing the text tool at the bottom of LO Draw, I then selected my font Bitstream Vera Sans Mono with a font size of 36 point and bold. Now I used the appropriate daily template to create my monthly calendar template. I repeated the above process, creating each of my weekdays. Using my basic layout, I highlighted the last six rows and and chose to align the cells to the top and set the font to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono with a point size of 18. Sat - February (28 days), March (31 days), November (30 days) Mon - September (30 days), December (31 days) The months that start on the following day of the week. Now, using my basic layout, I will create 7 layouts for each day of the week using the following information. In my case I choose the filename 'basic-plain-box-with-squares'. Now I save my basic layout by clicking on File -> Save as Template -> clicking Save in the template manager window and entering the filename. Then, while the cells were highlighted, I chose my font and selected bold. I then highlighted the cells and, left clicking on the cell, then I chose format cell and align to the center. I then entered the days of the week in each cell. The top row of cells will hold the days of the week. Now I chose the properties I wanted for the table cells. I grabbed and dragged the table box to fit the size of my paper. I created a simple template with the basic layout of a table with seven rows and seven columns and then saved it for the seven different layouts I would need. I opened LibreOffice Draw and got to work creating my template. I would need seven different templates to make a full year's calendar. I started by writing every day of the week and marking which months started on which days. I quickly opened in a terminal and typed in cal 2014 and started counting them. Next I had to decide on how many different templates of this I would need to make to account for the different starting days of the months. Now that I had chosen my layout, I decided that I needed a table of seven columns and seven rows. I chose a simple picture over the calendar on a single sheet of 8½ x 11 inch paper. I set off to work to see what it took to create a simple, usable calendar.įirst, I had to decide just what I wanted my calendar to look like. So, what is a person to do, if they just want something simple with no big thrills? Create your own using LibreOffice Draw! But, to add things like holidays, it sent you on a wild goose chase to another website, which had no download link! Then there is Digikam, which would work for most anyone. Photo-cal was a nice stand alone program, but was seriously out of date. Some of the ones I found on the web took longer to watch the instruction on how to create them than it did for me to make my own. Save the document company-letter-start.odt and submit.As 2013 was coming to a close, PCLinuxOS community member izto posted his desire to be able to print a photo calendar, but he wasn't familiar with how to do so.Īfter searching for a calendar making program, I came to the conclusion that they all had some drawbacks. You must now save again your document as a normal odt so you can upload it for this exercise. The template file is stored in the My Templates location which is a folder hidden from you. Save your document as a template in the My Templates location with the name company-letter-template See the guide image for instructions how to style the document. Remember use the Insert Filed more options and find the Text Placeholder field. ![]() On the right column insert the text with the sender's company address. Insert, resize and position the image company-letter-template-logo.png on the left column of the table. Open the file company-letter-template-start.odt. ![]() Examine the structure of the letter, the company logo and address, the recipient address and the placeholder fields used. Open the pdf file company-letter-template-solution.pdf to view the end result. In this exercise you are going to create a formal company letter template.

![]() Lin artfully wraps her hero’s story in alternating layers of Chinese folklore, providing rich cultural context. Realizing there’s a connection between Madame Chang’s stories and the missing moon, Rendi assumes the hero’s mantle, transforming himself from a selfish, self-focused boy into a thoughtful young man who learns the meaning of home, harmony and forgiveness. She challenges him to contribute his own stories, in which he gradually reveals his identity as son of a wealthy magistrate. When mysterious Madame Chang arrives at the inn, her storytelling transports Rendi. ![]() He wonders about the innkeeper’s son who’s disappeared and about peculiar old Mr. The innkeeper’s bossy daughter irritates Rendi. Bad-tempered and insolent, Rendi hates Clear Sky, but he has no way of leaving the sad village where every night the sky moans and the moon has vanished. When a troubled runaway arrives in an isolated Chinese village where the moon has disappeared, he initiates a quest to find the missing orb and resolve his past.Įscaping from home in a merchant’s cart, Rendi’s abandoned in the Village of Clear Sky, where the innkeeper hires him as chore boy. Readers can still rely on this series to bring laughs. Just when it seems that the Heffleys really will move, a new sequence of chaotic trouble and property destruction heralds a return to the status quo. (And of course, Greg himself is not as unaffected as he wishes.) The gags include effectively placed callbacks to seemingly incidental events (the “stress lizard” brought in on testing day is particularly funny) and a lampoon of after-school-special–style problem books. While Greg’s positive about the move, he’s not completely uncaring about Rowley’s action. Left with only enough inheritance to patch and repair the exterior of the house-and with the school’s dismal standardized test scores as a final straw-Greg’s mom steers the family toward moving, opening up house-hunting and house-selling storylines (and devastating loyal Rowley, who doesn’t want to lose his best friend). Once the professionals are brought in, the problems keep getting worse: angry neighbors, terrifying problems in walls, and-most serious-civil permitting issues that put the kibosh on what work’s been done. ![]() Before bringing in the construction crew, the Heffleys attempt to do minor maintenance and repairs themselves-during which Greg fails at the work in various slapstick scenes. Greg’s mom calls a family meeting to determine what to do with their share, proposing home improvements and then overruling the family’s cartoonish wish lists and instead pushing for an addition to the kitchen. When Great Aunt Reba dies, she leaves some money to the family. The Heffley family’s house undergoes a disastrous attempt at home improvement. It’s hard not to weep when white settlers drive the Ojibwe west, and hard not to hope for what comes next for this radiant nine-year-old. Eager readers beguiled by her sturdy and engaging person will scarcely notice that they have absorbed great draughts of Ojibwe culture, habits and language. She learns not only from the hands of her grandmother, mother and Old Tallow, but by her own sharp observation and practice. Omakayas’s relationships with her prickly brother Pinch, the white child she calls Break-Apart Girl and Two Strike, who scorns women’s work, allow for emotional resonance. In spring, Omakayas goes on her own spirit quest and sees her future clear. In summer, a starving remnant of relatives are taken in and cared for in the fall, stores are laid up and the group returns to their cabins winter comes with storytelling, Old Tallow’s coat of many furs, and Omakayas’s sister Angeline beading a vest for the man she loves. On Madeline Island in Lake Superior at the midpoint of the 19th century, Omakayas lives the turning of an entire year. Readers who loved the ways of Omakayas and her family in The Birchbark House (1999) have ample reason to rejoice in this beautifully constructed sequel. |
