Re: [libreoffice-users] Graphics with Libre Draw or Writer

Hi,

In the Drawing Toolbar of Draw, there is something called the
"Explosion" in the "Stars and Banners" which you can use as starburst.
For the thought baloon, there is a "Cloud" in the Callouts. You can
access those from the toolbar or from Shape > Insert > Callouts >
Cloud; and Shape > Insert > Stars and Banners > Explosion. There are
also some shapes you can use in the Gallery (View > Gallery) in the
Shapes theme.

I hope this helps.
Rémy.
