O.K, now that you state that things might get more complex, so please bear with this non-techie and that this all on Mac OOo. Firstly, I learned that the Writer images were not "file imported" into the Writer document but directly cut-and-pasted from Graphic Converter (a fine Photoshop workalike) after being resized from both JPG and GIF and PNG originals (we found only BMP can be directly imported as a file without the "Sections" menu appearing). So, would these images be cut and pasted into Writer in their original format or converted by OOo into a native OOo image format? That said, how can we tell what image formats these files in the "Picture" folder are to do anything with them, and more, how do you make image viewers (and future re-pasting) "see" them with their odd long all numbers non-image format file names? Hope I spelled it out coherently! Thanks!
The pictures are stored in the format/ext they were imported in. You are saying "cut and pasted" it seem that is dependent on the native format of where they were cut from. Are you not seeing a file extension?
You can extract the picture folder from the archive and rename the files with a shorter name to see if your viewer will recognize them. Use your archive tool to extract them.
If all else fails you can send me a copy and I will extract them for you. Andy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
