------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 30 04:29:11 -0800 2005 ------- Background information: I wanted to buy a water heater. Several products are available in market, with mind-boggling features. Therefore, I decided to compare different makes/models by collecting information in a single odt file. (The purpose of making this file was to share it with a few friends, to get their opinion). ********* The problem: To compile the product-related information, I opened a new odt file in "Print" layout, and then for each make/model, I visited the concerned website(s) and copied some part(s) of the webpage(s) and pasted it in this file. Each of the original webpage had a few images, which appeared fine in the odt file (initially). However, when my Internet connection was cut off, all the images vanished. I could see only empty placeholders, which displayed URLs for those missing images. (Images used for bullets were also missing). The result was a totally useless document. I tried again, and saved the file BEFORE the Internet connection was cut off, but even that did not retain the images. On closer inspection, I found that all URLs still point to the website (in other words, they were not localized or inserted in the document.) I expect the images to be EMBEDDED in the article. The only way in which I can localize the images is- 1. Switch to Mozilla. 2. Copy each image in the webpage (right-click and select the "copy" option) 3. Switch to Writer. 4. Select the corresponding placeholder and paste the image. 5. Repeat steps 1-4 for other images Can anything be more tedious? Besides, I may end up pasting the image in the wrong placeholder! ******* I raised this issue at the OOo forum, and a workaround was suggested that I should save all the webpages locally. But that method is not suitable at all, when I am trying to COMPILE the information in a SINGLE document and remove the irrelevant details AND add my own comments. And the "First save all pages locally and then create a odt file with Writer" method is even more tedious. I would have to clean up the mess after creating the odt file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
