KWord

Although a word processor, KWord is frame-based, so can also perform light layout duties, similar to a desktop publishing application.

Second Layout Project - for a photo album

Template:I18n/Language Navigation Bar

In our second Layout Tutorial you will use your own pictures and text

In this lesson you will revise the steps of the first tutorial:

add text boxes and adjust their size and position
format text
add illustrations
adjust their size and position

You will create a page suitable for use in a photo album, using text flow between frames. We will base this on holiday photos.

Before you start you may find it helpful to create a temporary folder containing all the pictures you intend to use. For the purpose of this tutorial you should scale your pictures to no more than 125mm (5in) wide as inserting large images has an impact on printing time.

As in our first layout project, select the blank page template and adjust your margins. Plenty of white space is advisable in a photo album page, but if your margins are too large you will find that either the pictures or text suffer from lack of space.

First, create two Image boxes. Place the first just under the title, and touching the right-hand margin. In that one, place a photo that is typical of your destination. Place a feature photo touching the left-hand margin, approximately corner-to-corner with the first photo.
