Operation Manual

Inserting an image using a scanner
If a scanner is connected to your computer, LibreOffice can call the scanning application and insert
the scanned item into the LibreOffice document as an image. To start this procedure, place the
cursor where you want the graphic to be inserted and choose Insert > Image > Scan > Select
Source.
Although this practice is quick and easy, it is unlikely to result in a high-quality image of the correct
size. You may get better results by passing scanned material into a graphics program and cleaning
it up there before inserting the resulting image into LibreOffice.
Inserting an image from the Gallery
The Gallery (Figure 303) 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 316. You can copy or link an object
from the Gallery into a document.
To insert an object:
1) Click the Gallery icon in the Sidebar.
2) Select a theme.
3) Select an object with a single click.
4) Drag and drop the image into the document.
You can also right-click on the object and choose Insert > Copy.
