Re: [libreoffice-users] Images and *doc export

Hi,
Thank you all for the suggestion. I think that the PDF solution might be 
the best way, although I am not sure if it will be peacefully accepted 
by my supervisor.
The worst case scenario will be me constructing a nem file with png 
images and keeping the original done with draw in a safe file to edit 
afterwards.
We will see.
Thx again,
Orlando
