If I use Writer to draw two boxes or a box and an ellipse or ... then I can select them and group them in the way I described (select first, hold shift key, select second, group).

You can then >keep the "figure 1" or delete it. After that create your ellipse onto teh >screen, it will automatically be anchored to the frame. I think "Beschriftung" is "caption" in English. This works but *only* if I anchor the screen shot to the frame first. You also have to be careful to select the frame and not the screen shot if you want to move the thing as a whole. Grouping would be much easier. Oh, grouping the screen shot and a box works in Draw. I think there's a bug (sssshhhhh). >Guido --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
