My ultimate goal is to create a
document with Writer that I can "Export as PDF".The examples
that I originally sent were trivial, but the important ones arevector
drawingsand theymust stay vector drawingsso that
when the final document in resized in Adobe Reader the will come
out correct.Look at Example 3, attached.The object in Draw is slightly
smaller than the page/canvas.While in Writer, when I "Insert -Object -OLE
Object -Create from
file" the resultant OLE is larger than either of those 2 sizes !!Luckily
these are all close so I can live with it ... this time !There must be a way,
in Writer, to insert an OLE so that the
resultant OLE has a predictable size !On 10/29/2013 11:29 AM, Tom Davies

Hi :)
I don't know what is going wrong there.
The way i get images into a document is to simply drag
them in.It sounds like you are trying to do something
over-complicated but there is probably a good reason for
it.My way means the document ends up being quite
heavy.So i open the document and then open the folder with the
images in.Then simply click and drag the image from
the folder into the document.
i never expect images to appear the right size to start
with.In the rare cases where i have control over the
physical size of the image on-screen i try to make it
about twice the size that it's going to appear when
printed in order to try to make it sharp enough but not
tooo heavy.
I tend to prefer resizing by right-click on the image and
then select "Picture" to open a dialogue-box with tons of
options for anchor-point, wrap, borders, spacing and all the
rest so that i can have a first stab at doing all of that in
one go.That way of resizing means i can keep the aspect
ratio to avoid distorting the images.Most people are
familiar with the output of Word so they don't mind if
images and logos do get distorted but i prefer to be more
accurate.

4.1.2.3I am trying to insert an ODG into a ODT usingInsert
-Object -OLE Object -Create from fileThe resultant "physical
size" on the page (paper) of the object inthe ODT is NOT the same
as the original ODG ! Of course
grabbing aresize handle in Writer "stretches" the contents out of
shape.If the resultant object is selected (green dots
on),Format -ObjecthasPosition and Sizedisabled.Example 1,
the ODG is 1 page which is defined as 6.0"x2.0" with0,0,0,0
margins. When it is inserted it is clearly much
taller than2.0".Example 2, the ODG is 1 page, A4 size with A4
default margins. WhenI try to insert it into my ODT it fills the
width of the
Letter sizepage, but the length is much too small.In both cases,
when the image is brought into the Writer document,the contents of
the image have the proper width/height
ratio.--To unsubscribe e-mail
