Thanks Russell, Dan.
Would it not make sense for graphics to be linked to their sources so they don't increase the file size unnecessarily (unless you want to transport the document, of course, in which case you would want to include them in the file) while at the same time being able to redirect the path to the source for cases where you have to move things around in the hard disk hierarchy?

The problem I have is caused when, after I create a new Write document, on my template which has a full page graphic for a background, and I also insert my scanned signature, I then go on to file my new document in its proper directory, only to discover that, when I re-open it, the graphics (background image as well as inserted signature) are not read, and all I see is the signature placeholder with no graphics whatsoever. Nothing at all shows instead of the first page background image.
Is there a way to avoid this? Can I instruct OOo to re-read the graphics from their source files? I am little confused, because I see that the filename and path have been preserved within the signature placeholder. All that's changed is the location of the Write document itself, so why can it not go to the path it knows already and read the signature?
Thanks, people.
There are two possibilities. First, the Write document is only looking within the folder to which you moved it. Secondly, the graphics have been turned off. (On my system, the Graphics On/Off icon is in the Main toolbar on the left side of the window. It is next to the bottom of that toolbar. Click on this icon to see if this is the case. If so, the graphics should re-appear. If not, there is a problem with the links you created. A better way would be to create the document without the links. When inserting a graphic, leave the "Link" box unchecked. The graphic then becomes a part of the Writer document. This is more likely the problem. You should probably do this for your template first.
