Open the Draw file then select and copy&paste to Writer is another way. > As far as I can tell, there is no standard zoom factor that the Draw > image is imported with.

You can do it indirectly by resizing (scaling) the frame in writer using the shift+drag on the green handle at bottom-right of the selected frame in Writer. First, use this to make the frame smaller. Then double click to open the Draw OLE. Resize the Draw OLE frame to expose more/all of the drawing. Then click outside and rescale the Writer frame as before. I don't know what rationale there might be for this, unless it is really a bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
