Note

Your Insert Picture dialog may look quite different from the one

shown here, depending on your operating system and your

choice in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > General of

whether to use the OOo Open and Save dialogs.

Drag and drop

1) Open a file browser window and locate the image you want to

insert.

2) Drag the image into the Calc document and drop it where you

want it to appear. A faint vertical line marks where the image will

be dropped. The picture will be anchored to the cell where it was

dropped.

This method always embeds (saves a copy of) the image file in the Calc

document.

Linking an image file

To create a link to the file containing the image instead of saving a

copy of the image in the Calc document, use the Insert picture dialog

and select the Link option. The image is then displayed in the

document, but when the document is saved, it contains only a

reference to the image file—not the image itself. The document and the

image remain as two separate files, which are merged temporarily only

when you open the document again.

Linking an image has two advantages and one disadvantage:

• Advantage – Linking can reduce the size of the document when it

is saved, because the image file itself is not included. The file size

is usually not a problem on a modern computer with a reasonable

amount of memory, unless the document includes many large

graphics files. Calc can handle quite large files.

• Advantage – You can modify the image file separately without

changing the document because the link to the file remains valid,

and the modified image will appear when you next open the

document. This can be a big advantage if you (or someone else,

perhaps, a graphic artist) is updating images.

• Disadvantage – If you send the document to someone else, or

move it to a different computer, you must also send the image

files, or the receiver will not be able to see the linked images. You

need to keep track of the location of the images and make sure

the recipient knows where to put them on another machine, so

the Calc document can find them. For example, you might keep
