RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Embedded OLE Objects in Write

  1. Are you making sure that the OLE object is embedded and not just linked?  Are you also making 
sure that the option to show a thumbnail instead of the rendering of the OLE object is not selected?

  2. Are you using more than one computer for this work?    And is the original application that 
produces the OLE object available on each machine where you want to view the document correctly?

  3. You might do better pasting the drawing from the application where you are creating it into 
the destination document, using Copy and Paste [Special...] as appropriate to select a 
vector-graphic insertion.  

It is often the case that a bad bitmapped version of an image will be used as a substitute when the 
vector-graphic form cannot be accessed/utilized for some reason.

Thanks, but the box is checked and graphics and objects are set to be displayed.  Other graphics 
appear just fine.

I've cut out everything except a couple of pages and made it available for download here: 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17999770/LOProbs1.odt.  If anyone can think of a solution I'd appreciate it 
as

a) I'd really like to use vector graphics for my thesis and 
b) Importing the svg files I've created using draw screws with the text.  I suspect Writer is 
having a problem with the fonts.

And just to add insult to injury, all the graphs I've carefully spend a couple of days' work 
creating are now in the same situation.  Argh!  Help!
