The CropOOo extension is not a good solution and their is no development since 2007.
The disadvantages and problems: UNDO (ctrl-z) doesn't seem to work right. So you have only one trial to crop. To cancel the changes I had made and close the document to undo the crop. When cropping a picture, after pressing Enter, the left and top offset is incorrect, and CropOOo adds margin as big as the graphic's distance to the top-left corner of the current page. Even when I move the picture to the top-left of the page (using Anchor To Page), the picture's dimension is not changed by CropOOo, leaving white space around the graphic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491746 Title: [Upstream] No interactive crop in Writer Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Confirmed Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org OpenOffice.org Writer in both Karmic and Lucid appears to lack the interactive crop feature.
