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

A Second Layout Project
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.

Now create a text frame,alongside your first picture, roughly filling the availlable space. In Properties, give it a recognisable name, then in the Options tab, set "Do not show the extra text". Close the properties box, and select the Text tool. The text tool options appear at the lower right of the page. Set the font style and size that you want, then either type directly into the box, or paste in ready-made text.

If your text overflows the area selected it will not be visible (due to the setting we just made). Now's the time to create a new text box alongside the second picture. Again, fill the available space. The Connect Text Frames options page will pop up. Click on the named frame you earlier created.
