Writer Guide

Note
Going the other way, from embedded to linked, is not so easy—
you must delete and reinsert each image, one at a time,
selecting the Link option when you do so.
Inserting images from other sources
You can insert images from sources other than a file:
• Graphics program
• Scanner
• OOo Gallery
Graphics program
You can use many different graphics programs to edit a graphic file.
From these programs, you can select, copy, and paste an image or part
of a graphic into an OOo document. Figure 251 shows an example of
this procedure, which can be recreated with these steps:
1) In the graphic program window, select an area of the image to be
copied.
2) Move the cursor over the selected area and press Control+C to
copy.

3) Switch to the OOo Writer window.
4) Click to place the cursor where the graphic is to be inserted.
5) Press Control+V to paste the image.
