Hello,

I have been using OOo for several years now on Mac, Linux, and
Wndows XP. Great
program and I have converted several others to it.

My problem is I need to do some drawings, basic boxes and some
lines and text. Draw
works a treat. Some features that make it very quick and easy for
my use. But the file
formats that it saves the drawings to do not have any listed that I
can work with to convert
to a format that I can send to the users of MS Word to embed in
their documents. Am I
missing something or is there a way to do it?

I just tried copy and paste into a Write document and saving as a
doc file. When opened
in MS Word the graphic was munged.

     Here is a hint. Do NOT save your drawing in this case, export
them. You can export them in many different bitmap formats
including .png and .jpg. You can save them for your own purposes, but
exporting them for others is a better idea.

Dan,

That does indeed work. The user guide mentioned nothing about file formats in the table of contents or index. I am used to using Save As with Writer to save to doc format for those unenlightened people who are still addicted to Bill's Coolaide.
So it was natural that I would look to the Save As rather than Export.

Thanks,

Ross
