in a subfolder named Images (under the folder containing the
document); the recipient of the file needs to put the images in a
subfolder with the same name (under the folder containing the
document).
Note
When inserting the same image several times in the document
it would appear beneficial to create links; however, this is not
necessary as OOo embeds in the document only one copy of
the image file.
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 OpenOffice.org and choose Edit > Links.
2) The Edit Links dialog (Figure 251) 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 delete and reinsert each image, one at a time,
selecting the Link option when you do so.
