Hi Claire Commiserations on the problems you are having, I hope you can fix them soon. I found the first betas and rcs of 3.2 relatively unstable on one or two of my systems. The rcs 4 and 5, the latter being the version released were much better.
There is a wrinkle to bringing diagrams from Draw into Writer. Not sure if you have been caught yet with it, but if you have text and graphics mixed in a diagram, and then try to scale it in Writer, it ends up looking very sad. The text and graphics seem to scale at different ratios, the text does not fit where it was etc. The trick I found out (from Solveig's blog at http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/ http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2009/06/how-to-put-a-drawing-into-a-writer-document-safely-and-more-quickly-in-openoffice.html check it out) is to convert the drawing to a Polygon first. Then resizing works fine. regards from Switzerland (again, but only until Monday when I will be in Nepal for 3 weeks) Martin PS I am just about finished on another couple of chapters of the Draw Guide, stay tuned ;-) On Fri, 26 Feb 2010 05:00:12 -0600 Claire Wood <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > I've just been looking in Chapter 8 of the Writer's Guide.
