------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 23 08:16:38 +0000 2007 ------- Embedding objects from OO Draw is not working really. When you embed an object from a file, the view on the drawing is based on how the drawing was viewed the last time with OO Draw. This is not acceptable, and therefore, it is completly beyond my understanding, how an issue 38965 like can be disabled intentionally. When you insert a drawing into writer as an OLE Object, the zoom level is what was used the last time the drawing was edited in OO Draw. The only way to modify how the drawing appears in OO Writer is to configure how it is displayed in OO Draw. Bad luck if you have not linked the objects, then you have no possibility at all to scale the drawing to match the formatting of your text. Is this really how it's meant to be? What is missing, is in my opinion: 1) The possibility to define a scale for all objects, drawings in OO Writer, so that you can downscale embedded drawings and other objects 2) If you copy&paste a page from OO Draw to OO Writer * From the main view: pasted are all selected elements (all all elements on that page, if no selection was made), much like you would export to StarView Metafile or Windows Metafile first, and then import that picture. * From pages sidebar: paste the complete page, not just a group of the drawings. In Writer the frame of the object should be identical with the page borders. 3) Make the display in OO Writer independent of the display in other applications --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
