I want to add a star on a gif. I have opened the gif. According to
the OOo Help:
"Click an icon on the Stars and Banners toolbar, and then drag in the

How do you do this? If I right click and hold down on a star icon and
move the pointer to the point I would like to put the star nothing
happens. If I double click on the star, when the pointer moves on the
gif it becomes a + and moves the gif if I click and hold. Help, please.
Are you doing this in a text (Writer) document or a drawing (Draw)
one? You don't say which.
A drawing (Draw).
A bit of experimentation suggests that to achieve what you want in
Draw, it is necessary that the existing image should *not* be selected
before you charge the cursor, as it were, with star-drawing ability.
If the image shows the eight green handles, click outside it first to
deselect it before going to the star symbol in the toolbar.
After yours and Michael's reply I experimented a little more and finally
managed it.
Writer behaves differently and does not show this problem.
So there _is_ a problem. It did seem that somehow the behavior was not
what I expected.
At least, that's how it works in my 3.1.0 under Windows XP.
3.0.1. Same OS.
I trust this helps.

One clarification to what I wrote: when I select Line > Style > -None-,
the borders do appear white. But, as I said, when I select another
style, there is no option of Color > Automatic, so that the borders
appear white and print black, like the text does.
