This method embeds (saves a copy of) the image file in the Writer document. To link

the file instead of embedding it, hold down the Control+Shift keys while dragging the

image.

Insert Picture dialog

1) Click in the OOo document where you want the image to appear.

2) Choose Insert > Picture > From File from the menu bar.

3) On the Insert Picture dialog, navigate to the file to be inserted, select it, and

click Open.

At the bottom of the dialog are two options, Preview and Link. Select Preview to

view a thumbnail of the selected image on the right, so you can verify that you have

the correct file. See below for the use of Link.

Linking an image file

If the Link option in the Insert picture dialog is selected, OOo creates a link to the

file containing the image instead of saving a copy of the image in the document. The

result is that the image is displayed in the document, but when the document is

saved, it contains only a reference to the image file—not the image itself. The

document and the image remain as two separate files, and they are merged together

only when you open the document again.

Linking an image has two advantages and one disadvantage:

• Advantage – Linking can reduce the size of the document when it is saved,

because the image file itself is not included. File size is usually not a problem

on a modern computer with a reasonable amount of memory, unless the

document includes many large graphics files; OOo can handle quite large files.

• Advantage – You can modify the image file separately without changing the

document because the link to the file remains valid, and the modified image

will appear when you next open the document. This can be a big advantage if

you (or someone else, perhaps a graphic artist) is updating images.
