Using the Direct Cursor

The direct cursor allows you to enter text anywhere on a page.

To set the behavior of the direct cursor, choose - LibreOffice Writer - Formatting Aids.

  1. On the Tools bar, click the Direct Cursor icon Icon. Alternatively, enable Direct Cursor by going to Edit - Direct Cursor Mode.

  2. Click in a free space in the text document. The mouse pointer changes to reflect the alignment that will be applied to the text that you type:

Align left

āšˆāšąāš”āšĨāš―āš™āšŠāŧ‰āšēāš

Centered

āšŠāšđāš™āšāšēāš‡

Align right

āšˆāšąāš”āšĨāš―āš™āš‚āš§āšē

  1. Type your text. LibreOffice automatically inserts the required number of blank lines, and, if the options are enabled, tabs and spaces.
