James,
Many thanks. I looked around the OO.o web site but did not see this.
This may well get me started enough to do what I need to do.
I should have mentioned my specific application. I have an image
obtained from a screen snapshot. I then save in the (painfully
primitive) Paint utility. I could save in several graphics formats (but
not the native Draw format). I'd save it in Draw directly, but I could
not figure out how to do this.
Print Screen
Open new draw document
CTRL-V
Otherwise you can just import the saved image into the document. OOo
Draw will eat almost anything you'll throw at it.
The image is of a short music exercise with finger notations for a
different instrument than the one I play. I'd like to erase the existing
numbers and replace them with something more appropriate to my instrument.
I'll post further inquiry again once I have played with this tutorial.
It occurs to me that I used to use MS Word to create such drawings, blow
them up to 200% and edit pixel by pixel. I'll try that with OO.o
Writer's graphics facilities.
MSPaint is certainly more suited for the task than MSWord.
Please, please use Paint instead of Word to do pixel editing! :-)
I don't know if Draw can be used to do such tricks. You can however
import the image or paste the screenshot into it and put some graphics
elements and text to alter the appearance of the image. You can then
export the whole thing in PDF format.

Is there a low level OO.o Draw tutorial available? Draw is not
intuitive for me.
When faced with a software package that is new to me, I usually need
a small set of instructions that make the tool useful, then I can
read the "Help" and other tutorials to find things as needed to
extend my knowledge. Getting that first set of instructions isn't
easy for me.
