Hi, this is a great feature to be able to use linked images within documents eg. by dragging it from a browser into a document by using shift+ctrl. I answered this within the blog. If somebody has a problem with linked images within stored files then he/she can easily break these links by usi

Alright Rob. back to the issue - it appears to be platform specific. Checking again, w/ AOO (daily), under windows and using Chrome there is one difference. Copy/Paste to a writer document works - and it is linked, unless you select copy special and then select bitmap. Otherwise - I'll check the

Well, looks like it is not so easy to say that is wrong. Tried this again, except instead of using Linux, using AOO 3.5 on Windows and IE for the browser. With writer it just craps out and you get nothing usable. But with draw, yes the image is linked not embedded and I am absolutely sure I did a
