But if you use .pdf to .jpg conversion (without the quotes) as a search term, you'll see some things that could probably help. Have Impress create the PDF, then do the conversion, then upload. But there may well be restrictions on image dimensions and so forth that will further complicate the issue for you; without knowing more about the existing web page and its rules it's hard to help in any more detail. Also perhaps look at 'PDFCreator' - it's a fake printer driver for windows (which I assume you're using), mainly for producing PDFs (not needed by OOo), but will also convert to your choice of image output, using the 'print' option on any(??) application. It can take a bit of fiddling to get the parameters right, but it does work quite well when you're used to it. -- Mike Scott Harlow, Essex, England - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

[users] Fw: Switching between Impress and PowerPoint
One of my students discovered what my problem was. Somehow I had switched over to a white font. Obviously I didn't do it intentionally and there may be a glitch somewhere that caused it to happen by mistake. But at least for me the problem is solved. Mark W.

I have installed OO3.2.1 on my Vista desktop that does not have PowerPoint and also have a laptop that does have the old version of PP. I previously found that Impress would not embed graphics in a PP so I did the graphics on the laptop and then did some other text things on the desktop. Now when I go back to the laptop the text cannot be accessed or inserted. It shows as if it is there, it can be copied and pasted, but otherwise, when I type a new text box, I get 'invisible writing' :-) I have also tried saving as and then reopening. Any ideas? Mark W.

If you go to Tools | AutoCorrect Options... | Options and scroll down, you will see Combine single line paragraphs if length greater than 50%. (If you select this and click Edit..., you can vary that figure of 50%.) You can use this to combine single-line paragraphs. Just go to Format | AutoCorrect | Apply. This will apply all currently selected forms of auto-correction, and any additional changes may be unwanted. If so, try Format | AutoCorrect | Apply and Edit Changes instead. Then click Edit Changes to reach a panel enabling you to accept or reject individual changes. You may want to paste any text into a temporary separate document before carrying out such editing, to avoid unwanted changes to the rest of your real document. The tidied-up text can then be pasted where you really want it. I trust this helps.
