I'm probably just out of the habit of using Draw because I find Inkscape better for me in many ways. On the other hand, being able to right click on an image and rotate it situ is a bit more elegant than having to OLE to Draw just for a simple change in position, size or orientation. Personally I think you should be able to adjust size and position in situ and just go to Draw if you need to edit. Just seems better ergonomics. The case of the barcode shows that going to Draw is probably not intutitive for most users and that is also quite an important consideration. > > Sigrid > > -- > Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] > Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette > List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ > All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be > deleted > > -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications The Schools ITQ www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
