第一章 认识您的系统

百资 Linux Lite 特别提供了人性化的全新使用界面，简单易用的
菜单及更多贴心的应用。在本章里，我们先来了解一些系统中的基
本操作及注意事项。

1.1 登入系统

当系统启动后，在预设的情况下系统会以"User"账号自动登入Lite
版简易使用界面。

当您启动系统时， Linpus Lite会以“user”账号自动登
入Lite版简易使用界面。在预设的情况下，“user”账号
的密码为空。如果您是 Linux 高级用户，可能需要使用
root用户，默认状态下其密码为“111111”。

百资 Linux Lite 同时提供 Lite简易风格和传统 PC 类
windows 风格 两种不同的桌面环境，您只要按下切换
键，如图1.1所示，就可以在这两种界面之间进行切换。

图1-1 在两种操作环境之间进行切换

第一章

1.2 Lite 简易模式导览

桌面
在启动 Lite简易界面之后，使用者将会看到如图 1-2 所示的画
面。您可以在此通过鼠标点选桌面上的应用程序快捷方式直接执行
它，或者点选上方的功能群组分页标签，进行不同群组项目的切
换。

图1-2 Lite简易风格工作环境

群组分页标签
在桌面上方提供了「互联网」、「办公」、「学习」、「娱乐」和
「设置」五个不同种类的群组分页标签，每个分页中包含了许多与
此相关的应用软件；默认情况下，Lite简易模式会首先显示「互联
网」分页的内容，使用者可以通过切换群组分页标签选择所需要使
用的应用程序。

工具列
Lite简易模式桌面下方有一条长方形的工具列；其中包括了一些
最常用应用程序的快捷方式、系统通知程序以及常见的系统设定程
序，如下图所示。

图1-3 Lite简易操作模式下的工具列

当您开启多个工作项目窗口后，该窗口选项便会在快速启动
栏的右侧出现。它可以让使用者非常方便地在工作窗口桌面
间进行切换动作。

快速启动
Lite简易操作模式的工具列提供了三个快捷方式，从左至右分别
为「显示桌面」、「文件管理器」和「切换到类 Windows传统模
式」。

系统通知区域
系统程序一旦被启动后便会一直在系统中运行；在工具列右边显示
了所有目前正在运行的系统程序。与快速快捷方式相同，点击图标
后即打开应用程序。

35

第四章

4.2 OpenOffice.org Calc

储存格
工作表中每一个小方格称为储存格，每一张工作表由多个储存格组
成，每一个储存格都可以用来存放资料。如果要选择整栏或整列
时，只需要直接点选行号（如 C）或列号（如 10）即可。如果希
望选取不连续的栏或列，可利用【Ctrl】+列号 / 栏号组合键来完
成。

编辑工作表
利用鼠标左键点选储存格，这表示该方格已被选取，您可以对它进
行修改。例如您要制作一个前 10 名投票排行榜的话，您可以先
输入「排名」、「姓名」、「语文成绩」、「数学成绩」和「总成
绩」等字段，接着分别在两个储存格上输入「1」和「2」，再选中
这两个数值的储存格，利用鼠标左键点右下角的「黑色正方形」向
下拖动时，会出现一个「充填序列」窗口，请在「排列类型」中选
取「直线」后按「确定」，即可出现 1 至 10 的名次编号，如图
4-5 所示。

图4-5 以「 1,2,3, ... 」快速填满储存格

36

Linpus Lite

按着「工具列」中「字型颜色」及「背景颜色」快捷方式，为储存
格或格子里的文字指定颜色。

图4-6 为储存格中的文字选择颜色

例如:需要把所有学生在「语文成绩」栏的得分统一以小数后两位来
表示，请先选取所有学生的「语文成绩」栏，然后点击「工具列」
中「增加小数点位数」快捷方式两次即可。

插入行/列
如果您想在目前的表格中加入一行或一列，只须把光标移到表格最
后一行或列，然后按鼠标右键，在「快速选单」中点选「插入储存
格」，然后在「插入储存格」窗口中选择「插入整列」或「插入整
行」即可。

37

第四章

自动求和
如计算学生的总得分，可以利用 Calc 中的「求和」功能来完
成，操作步骤如：首先把光标移到「L4」储存格，然后点击「工具
列」中的「求和」快捷方式，这时候 Calc 会以蓝色边框选取目
前的计算范围（如目前的计算范围为「J4」至「K4」），再按一下
【Enter】键，「F3」储存格将显示刚才计算的结果。当您把光标点
选「F3」储存格，Calc 会在「编辑列」中显示加总的计算公式；如
图 4-7 所示，「=SUM(J4:K4)」表示「J4」与「K4」储存格的求和
结果。

图4-7 求和的计算公式

在公式中除了以「Sum(C1:C3)」格式来指定计算范围外，Calc 支持
在公式中加入「运算符号」及「数字」进行计算。首先，在「编辑
列」中先输入一个「=」符号，再输入公式（如输入「C1+C2+C3」或
「Sum(C1:C3)」），再按【Enter】键，便可获得计算结果。
