Hello Regina I have just re-read your email.
I use PNG format for screenshots as this is the best format to use and keeps the image sharp. This comes from experience and it is also mentioned in the information for the LO documentation team. In the information it also mentions to use Draw if you want to add items to a screenshot. So I tried it and this is when I got the problem of an empty file. Importing an ODG file into Writer gives the warning message that the file format is not recognised. Surely, I should be able to create an illustration or drawing in Draw, save it in ODG format and then copy and paste the file into Writer. LibreOffice consists of several modules and there should be complete compatibility between the different file formats that are created. Am I missing something? I wonder if any LO users have come across this problemm.
