It may make things quicker to export the graphic's to a compressed format (eg, jpg, png, etc...) and then to insert into the document (as opposed to copying and pasting from mspaint).
The load time would of course be very quick if you only linked the graphics instead of inserting but there may be reasons for you not doing this initially. /paul On 8/25/05, Robert Volke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am using OpenOffice version 109 on an NT box.
