Re: [libreoffice-users] Office doesn't handle its own graphics?
Further to Robert's response. You can also OLE object insert an ODF drawing document .ODG (main menu Insert -> OLE Object -> OLE Object...). But will need to select the 'Create from file' radio button on the dialog. Will have to adjust the resulting OLE frame to your needs. You can also choose to link to the OLE object (allowing changes to the original to update the insertion on its next edit session). It is functional, but it is usually much more efficient to export from Draw in a raster or vector format, and then insert that image cleanly. -- V Stuart Foote -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
Re: [libreoffice-users] Office doesn't handle its own graphics?
Hi Gavin, I'm creating a document in Writer, and wanted to include some graphics from Draw. But you can't insert a Draw file. Draw files are filtered out of the file dialog by default; and if you enable "all files" and select one, you get an error message. A draw document could contain many pages. On every page will be shapes/images. So a *.odg-document couldn't be imported as image to a *.odt-document. Mark the shape/image you want to import. Drag and drop it to Writer. Or: Export the marked content as *.wmf. So you could import this image by the import dialog of Writer.

[libreoffice-users] Office doesn't handle its own graphics?
Hi all. I'm creating a document in Writer, and wanted to include some graphics from Draw. But you can't insert a Draw file. Draw files are filtered out of the file dialog by default; and if you enable "all files" and select one, you get an error message. This seems absurd. Anyone have insight on this?
