Adding Graphics (Images)

Images (also called pictures in AOO), such as corporate logos and photographs of people and products, are probably the most common types of graphics added to a Calc document. They may be downloaded from the Internet, scanned, created with a graphics program, or photos taken with a camera.

Images can be inserted in four ways:

• Using the Insert File dialog
• By dragging and dropping a supported file
• From the gallery
• From the clipboard by copying and pasting
