Getting a Picture from a Document Into the Gallery
I've already written about how to get a graphic from a file on your computer into the Gallery. But how do you get a graphic you like, that's just sitting in some OpenOffice document, into the Gallery? You could just copy it and paste it from that document to others, but putting it in the Gallery is more convenient.
1. Open the document containing the graphic.
2. If the gallery isn't showing, open the gallery by choosing Tools > Gallery or clicking on the Gallery icon.
3. Select the theme, the category you want to put the graphic in, in the gallery.
4. If you want to make a new one, click New Theme. Type the new name and click OK. Then select that theme in the Gallery.
5. Select the graphic. Release the mouse.
6. Click and hold down, and keep holding down on the graphic, for at least two seconds. Don't release the mouse, and drag the graphic into the gallery.
7. The graphic will appear in the gallery, at whatever location is set up as your gallery location, in a subdirectory for draganddrop.
You can set or change your gallery paths here. Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Paths.
