Writer OLE object

In some cases, text frames are not flexible enough to meet your needs and offer too

few possibilities for adjustment. For example, you may want to show a figure in Draw

in exactly the form it was created in Writer. The best solution might be to insert an

OLE object. This means that the object is linked or connected to the application that

created it. Draw makes available to other applications (only) one viewing window.

The object itself is not edited in Draw but in the other application.

Insert

Use Insert > Object > OLE Object to open the dialog as shown in Figure 237. Use

the Create new option to embed the OLE object in the Draw document. With the

Create from file option, you can choose whether the object should be embedded or

linked. With a linked file any change in the stored file will be shown in Draw and

conversely: any change you make in Draw will be stored in the file on disk.

If you have decided to embed the object you can still create an independent text

document from the OLE object. For this use the Save Copy as command from the

context menu.

Editing mode

As soon as you click on OK, the object is created and opens in editing mode. You can

recognize this mode by the gray frame around the object and the small black handles.

Take special note of the toolbars. These are no longer those of the Draw module but

of the Writer module. Input the text and format it almost the same as if you were in

Writer itself. You now have available all the format styles from Writer.
