------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 15 08:15:48 -0800 2005 ------- Editting embedded OLE objects "in place" is often an impractical method of altering the embedded document: E.g. for OO-Draw object embedded in a Writer documents, it is quite likely that the object be sized to be a small fraction of the page. If it is necessary to make a small change to the drawing object, it must be edited "in-place" (there's no other way!). However, there's no way to zoom in the view during in-place editing, so making small-scale changes becomes almost impossible. I suggest an "Edit in New Window" function be offered in addition to the in-place editing. This way, OLE objects can be edited with full view/zoom adjustment. An alternative to this would be to allow other OOo components to be linked in, rather than embedded. For example, for a large document, I would like to have all text and formating in a single Writer file and all drawings in a single OO-Draw file, with all drawing linked in to the text document from this file. Thus, to edit the drawing in the text document, I'd just edit the OO-Draw file. At present, only bitmap graphics can be linked in. OO-Draw object *must* be embedded. This leads to duplication of the drawing data (it exists once in the original oo-draw file and once embedded in the Writer document). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
