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.

• Disadvantage – If you send the document to someone else, or

move it to a different computer, you must also send the image

files, or the receiver will not be able to see the linked images. You

need to keep track of the location of the images and make sure

the recipient knows where to put them on another machine, so

the document can find them. For example, you might keep images

in a subfolder named Images (under the folder containing the

document); the recipient of the file needs to put the images in a

subfolder with the same name (under the folder containing the

document).

Note

When inserting the same image several times in the document

it would appear beneficial to create links; however, this is not

necessary as OOo embeds in the document only one copy of

the image file.

Embedding linked images

If you originally linked the images, you can easily embed one or more

of them later if you wish. To do so:

1) Open the document in OpenOffice.org and choose Edit > Links.

2) The Edit Links dialog (Figure 298) shows all the linked files. In

the

Source file

list, select the files you want to change from linked

to embedded.

3) Click the Break Link button.

4) Save the document.
