Description cbarbu 2009-01-15 14:48:43 UTC 
Hi,
After half an hour of effective work and other half an hour to
export/copy-paste. No way to get the same image from Draw in Writer. The main
problem is the transparency of boxes for export and random resizing of box using
a copy-paste from draw to writer. Please see the file at :

http://gala.univ-perp.fr/~cbarbu/mise_en_forme_des_4_data.odg

It's particularly boring not to be able to share a picture from different parts
of the same software, and justify by itself the priority 4. 

Best Regards,

Corentin Barbu

Sorry, could you please specify the problem? Why does copy/paste does not work?
Why can't you use insert/object/OLE ?  Please give a step by step description
and screenshots of the result. Thanks in advance.
Comment 3 cbarbu 2009-01-15 16:03:05 UTC 
In fact there are multiple problems so I focus on one : 

Copy/paste the image in the attachment from Draw to Writer makes some text box
to be resized randomly, so that part of a work is to be done again.

Use "import OLE object" do work well but I didn't know this workaround. Thanks. 
May I suggest a unique path to import files/images/ole-object, letting OOo be
able to import it the correct way according to the nature of the file ?

Ok, thanks. I see. A workaround could be to insert the draw document as OLE. The
problems do not occur then. Insert/paste special/Draw 8, GDI metafile, bitmap
seem to work, too.
