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

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for your help.  In answer to your questions:

I'm creating the OLE objects from Insert/Object/OLE object, so I'm presuming they're embedded.

I'm not quite sure where this is.  If it's the one that is 
Libreoffice/Preferences/Writer/View/Tables and Objects, then yes.   

 >> 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?

No, I'm not.  I am storing it and accessing it from Dropbox.  However, as this service stores the 
file locally, it shouldn't affect this.

I'll give that a go for ones I create from now on.

Thanks again, 

David.

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!
