I need to save a graph as a graphical object, say as jpeg or png. I
recall doing this years ago but can't remember how or find anything
in "help" as to how to tackle it. I think I did it in OOo, or Star
Office, but it might have been in Excel. Is it possible in OOo and, if so, how?
You mean a graph as in Calc? Try this as a workaround:
o Select the graph (so that you see the eight green handles).
o Copy the graph.
o Create a new text (Writer) document.
o Paste the graph into the text document - but using Edit | Paste
Special... (or Ctrl+Shift+V) instead of ordinary Paste.
o In the Paste Special dialogue, select "GDI metafile".
o Right-click the graph and go to Save Graphics... .
o Select your required format from the drop-down list against "Save as type".
You can also do this via a drawing (Draw) document, but the context
menu item there is Save as Picture... instead.
I trust this helps.
