Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing image from LO Draw (ODG) to Writer

Hi :)
You are not yet thinking in the LO way.  The modules/apps (such as Writer, Calc, Draw) are not 
separate programs in the way you seem to be trying to use them.  This is very different from MS 
Office.  With MSO if you open 2 of the apps then you pretty much double the amount of space taken 
up in Ram and double the resources used.  

Why not just create the page-breaks in Draw?  Even if you do get the Pdf into Writer and save as an 
Odt rather than an Odg it still doesn't become any more editable than it is as an Odg.  Pdf is made 
to be uneditable.  That is part of it's aim.  It's because it is uneditable that it appears the 
same on every machine or printer in any OS or program that displays Pdf, or at least that's the 
aim.  

You might find it helpful to skim quickly through the "Getting Started Guide" and see if soem 
things in there catch your eye
