Some of the figures in our documents have been done using OOo's drawing tools to overlay circles and callouts etc on screenshots or other graphics. (I've done this myself when in a hurry.) This means that when the ODT files are converted into something else (HTML, for example), the drawing objects get separated from the screenshots. Obvious this causes problems when repurposing the documents, because the figures need to be redone so that all components are part of one file (preferably PNG). I am doing some of them as I come across them, and I'm sure Peter H-B is doing the same, but we can use some help -- unless, Peter, you'd like to take responsibility for finding and fixing all the problem figures? :-) --Jean
Hello Jean, If I may add something, the text boxes and callouts also create a bit of a mess when translating the documents in other languages using the fabulous OmegaT and I guess other Computer Aided Translation software. I really support the idea of having the pictures being self-contained. I might offer some help, but we are in a situation where 90% of the screenshots have been taken using the silver theme of WinXP and this is not my default OS. Cheers, Michele
