On Win XP Pro/SP2 using OO 2.0.3 I'm writing an illustrated user's guide consisting of annotated screen shots interspersed with text.
I get the screen shots by bringing up the relevant window, hitting Alt/PrtScr and then, in Writer, Edit/Paste. This works well. To annotate the screen shot I use Writer to draw an unfilled box or ellipse around the piece of the screen shot to which I want to draw attention. This works well too. Now the fun starts. I want to group the screen shot and the box/ellipse so that I can move and/or resize them as a unit. I can't. The reason I can't is that Writer won't let me select both of them. Normally I'd select the first and then, holding down the Shift key, select the second. Doesn't work. I can select either of them as the "first" selection but then can't select the other. No error messages or anything. I've also tried Edit/Paste Special for the screen shot. Makes no difference. What is happening here, please? Harold Fuchs London, England
