Click outside the object to leave editing mode. Double-click on the object or use Edit
> Object > Edit to change again into editing mode.
In an embedded Writer OLE object, you can connect to further “sub” OLE objects. In
current versions of Draw, this is possible only if you open the embedded object as a
standalone object in Writer. Similarly you cannot edit a linked Writer “sub” OLE
object directly in Draw; you must open it as a text document in Writer. This limitation
can be illustrated by the use of formulas. Such formulas are technically OLE objects
that belong to the Math module. To use mathematical formulas inside flowing text,
save the text in a separate text document and insert it as a linked OLE object in
Draw. Inserting graphics from a file is however possible within the OLE environment
in Writer.
Object mode
Click on an object to enter object mode, recognizable by the presence of the green
handles. In object mode you remain in the Draw module.
Possibly you noticed that in edit mode there is no Zoom. Set the size of the OLE
object on the Draw page in Object mode from the Position and Size dialog. In the left-
hand image of Figure 240 the object was inserted at the original size, in the right-
hand image the size was reduced. If you change the size, take care that the option
Keep ratio is checked or else the object will become distorted. Line and Area
properties are not available for OLE objects, nor is it possible to rotate objects as
with text frames.
OLE objects can be overlaid just like other drawing objects. In Figure 241 a drawing
object from the basic shapes menu has been placed behind the OLE object.
