G'day all,

This is a very important issue, especially where the final result is to be 
included as website content, either HTML or as say a presentation.

Therfore it applies to not only Writer but virtually all components of OO.

First of all let me state that I have no time for Microsoft and a very, very 
big fan of OpenOffice.org . I would dearly love for more of my clients to use 
OpenOffice.org, also helping it to mushroom. 

Unfortunately Microsoft are ahead on the graphics resampling issue. Saving a 
document (created with Word) as HTML conveniently results in a sub-directory 
(sub-folder) with resampled versions of the images. It's then easy for even the 
least technically-minded of my clients who maintain their own pages with Word 
to upload the htm as well as the folder of resampled images. Microsoft also 
have an option in PowerPoint to resample inserted images, thus reducing the 
size of the presentation.

As digital camera images become bigger by default, and many users don't 
understand file sizes, adequate image resolution etc the problem is only 
getting worse.

Perhaps Writer etc should do the resample (down) automatically but could record 
the original image source location in case of the user wanting to resize the 
image up again at any point. Fair enough the original image would not be 
accessable if the document is emailed, uploaded etc but the document should in 
that case be layed out as the author intended for others to see it (ala PDF). 
The author would normally still have access to the original (and the recorded 
link in the source document to the original graphics file). At worst, if the 
graphics file was moved, the author would just have to re-insert it IF they 
wanted to resize upward again.

As someone else pointed out, this is a great opportuninty to get ahead of MS.
