I see the same problems here with your document. (LibO 4.1.4 from TDF, Debian Whezy). > What do I do to fix it? IMO, you've got way too many diagrams/drawing objects in your Writer document. I guess this is what creates the problems. I sometimes add drawing items in .odt documents, but very few at a time (2-3 lines or boxes at best), this without any problem so far. Anyway, I'd suggest drawing with a dedicated drawing tool, such as... Draw ;) Then you'd get a copy of the drawings into your .odt document. You might: -- copy and paste the drawings from Draw to Writer (group the drawing objects that go together first) -- insert drawings as OLE objects -- insert drawings as pictures (in Draw, you'd export the drawings to .png first) Just pick your preferred option. BTW, the existing diagrams can be copied and pasted from Writer do Draw: you haven't lost anything :) HTH, -- Jean-Francois Nifenecker, Bordeaux -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
