Re: [libreoffice-users] Clipart gallery organization in Impress?

Hi!


Thanks for your reply. Actually, I am more than a bit surprised by this 
- using clipart in presentations is very common, to my experience, and 
an important tool to make them more lively - so this problem */should/* 
be severe for many people using Impress......or how are you people using 
Impress do?

I tried removing the package, as as you said, the themes are back. But 
there are not many clipart images shipped with Impress, so it is still 
quite useless. Do you mean to then add clipart manually to new themes? 
By finding them individually on the internet, or by downloading the 
openclipart package (not the ubuntu package) and them adding them manually?

Best,

Magnus
