Hi all, At work (where we unfortunately have to use MS Office), I have often the need to create a presentation or text-document made up by a couple of fotos with comments, to explain or document mechanical engineering problems.
I'm wondering, if there is a plug-in/add-on or similar available for Open Office that would ease my work. I'm thinking of something, that works as follows: 1. Select several picture-files (preferably jpeg & tiff) in the file-browser of the OS (Win or Linux) 2. Opening the context-menu (right mouse-button or the key on the keyboard), where the user can choose from 2 commands like "Create OO Writer document from selected pictures" and "Create OO Impress presentation from selected pictures" 3. Whichever command is selected, some picture-manipulation routine resizes the selected pictures in the background until their files-size(*) is less than 250kb per picture and until their x-/y-dimensions(*) are small enough to fit 1 picture per page/slide if the pictures should be beyond these limits (* = mentioned properties should be customizable by the user somewhere in the OO preferences dialog box) 4. The corresponding OO applications (Writer or Impress) creates & opens a new document(**) that contains as many pages/slides as pictures that were selected in step 1, with 1 picture per page/slide and some text-box beside or below it to add a comment (** = some template for these semi-automatic created doc's should be definable in the OO preferences dialog box) 5. The user can add comments to the pictures in the provided text-boxes and some arrows and other elements if desired, that help to explain the things that shall be explained or documented 6. The user saves the document or presentation and/or sends it by e-mail using the existing OO functionality in the file-menu Such a tool would save me (and for sure, many other office workers) a lot of time. Does someone knows a plug-in/add-on like this or knows how to implement it? Thanks. Hans __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sie sind Spam leid? Yahoo!
