Operation Manual

Embedding linked images
If you originally linked the images, you can easily embed one or more of them later if you wish. To
do so:
1) Open the document in LibreOffice and choose Edit > Links.
2) The Edit Links dialog (Figure 302) shows all the linked files. In the Source file list, select the
files you want to change from linked to embedded.
3) Click the Break Link button.
4) Save the document.
Note
Going the other way, from embedded to linked, is not so easy—you must replace the
images, one at a time, selecting the Link option when you do so.

Inserting an image from the clipboard
Using the clipboard, you can copy images into a LibreOffice document from another LibreOffice
document and from other programs. To do this:
1) Open both the source document and the target document.
2) In the source document, select the image to be copied.
3) Click once on the selected image and press Ctrl+C to copy the image to the clipboard.
4) Switch to the target document.
5) Click to place the cursor where the graphic is to be inserted.
6) Press Ctrl+V to insert the image.
Caution
If the application from which the graphic was copied is closed before the graphic is
pasted into the target, the image stored on the clipboard could be lost.
