Inserting an image from the Gallery
The Gallery provides a convenient way to group reusable objects such as graphics and sounds
that you can insert into your documents. The Gallery is available in all components of LibreOffice.
See “Managing the LibreOffice Gallery“ on page 308. You can copy or link an object from the
Gallery into a document.
To insert an object:
1) Choose Tools > Gallery or click the Gallery icon on the Standard toolbar (in Writer
and Calc) or the Drawing toolbar (in Impress, Writer, and Draw).
2) Select a theme.
3) Select an object with a single click.
4) Drag and drop the image into the document. (See Figure 302.)
You can also right-click on the object and choose Insert > Copy.
This then causes the Graphics toolbar to replace the Formatting toolbar and opens the Pictures
toolbar, docked to the Status bar.
