Peter: why not copy and paste between the applications? There is no need
to involve a whole document file.
Like Regina said, if your drawing consists of multiple elements, select
them all, right-click and "Group" before copying and pasting the thing.

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.
Regards
Peter Schofield

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
