Graphics in Writer documents

When you create a text document using OpenOffice.org Writer, you may need to include some graphic illustrations.

Graphics in Writer are of three basic types:

• Graphic and image files, including photos, drawings, scanned images, and others
• Diagrams created using Writer’s drawing tools
• Charts created using OOo’s Chart facility

This chapter covers the first two types of graphic illustrations. Most parts of this chapter also apply to the other components of OOo.
