3.6 Creating Graphics with Draw
Use OpenOffice.org Draw to create graphics and diagrams. You
can save your drawings in today’s most common formats and
import them into any application that lets you import graphics,
including the other OpenOffice.org modules. You can also create
Flash versions of your drawings.
The OpenOffice.org documentation contains complete instructions
on using Draw. See Section 3.8, Finding Help and Information About OpenOffice.org for more information.
To use a Draw graphic in a document:
-
Open Draw,
then create the graphic.
-
Save the graphic.
-
Copy the graphic and paste it into the
document, or insert the graphic directly from the document.
One particularly useful feature of Draw is the ability to
open it from other OpenOffice.org modules so you can create a drawing
that is automatically imported into your document.
-
From an OpenOffice.org
module (for example, from Writer), click > > > > .
This opens Draw.
-
Create your drawing.
-
Click in your document, outside the Draw
frame.
The drawing is automatically inserted into your document.
