Hi Peter,

I am updating the user guide for Draw to version 6.4 and have come a problem.

LO Writer is not accepting the ODG format as a file. I have tried dropping into 
a document as well as doing a copy and paste, but nothing happens. I also tried 
importing as an image and I get the message that the ODG drawing is not 
recognised as an image.

My only solution at the moment is to export from Draw in PNG format after 
saving in ODG format.

Exporting directly from Draw without saving in ODG format produces an empty 
file.

Anybody know a solution.

I am using LO version 6.4.0.3

The goal is not clear to me.
If you intend to import a complete ODG file (why?), then it would be only possible as OLE. If you want to insert single drawings, often simple copy&paste will work. Another method would be to drag the drawing into a (new) Gallery theme in Draw and insert it from the Gallery in Writer.

If your drawing in Draw contains several shapes, you might get better results by grouping them. In case you get distance problems at the edges, include a white rectangle behind the drawing.

Why do you think, using PNG in the guide is not so good?

BTW, I'm currently reviewing the German guide for Draw.

Kind regards
Regina
