With the OLE in edit mode (double click) you can resize the content by dragging it . The content size can aslo be altered by the size or tzzomstage you save the original file. With the OLE in select mode you can resize and move the OLE window. Sorry, "tzzomstage" should have been "zoomstage". wg, I now see what you mean. Although this can be tweaked on to make work, this really shouldn't be considered optimal. By default, when inserting this drawing as an sxd file it takes the entire width of the page, beyond the margins. I then converted the drawing to an odg file, which now takes up ALL the page when inserted, vertical and horizontal. Starting with a single empty page, inserting a 3 inch high drawing will result in now having 3 pages with the drawing on page 2. OOo should at least be making some attempt at a reasonable guess as to how to fit it on the page. I doesn't need to be perfect, but somewhere in the ballpark should be what is happening here. At the very least it should fit within the margins of the destination document. Lastly, I have to address a usability issue. Now that you've explained to me that the window when in edit mode can be re-sized I get it. I would have NEVER gotten it without your explaining this. Maybe I'm just not too bright, but those 1x1 pixel handles didn't exactly shout, "Hey, I can resize this thing!". Plus there's the additional ruler I can't figure out how to turn off adding visual noise to the picture. With that being said, I would like to reopen this bug. Perhaps it shouldn't be classified as a defect, but it should be fixed. I think the problem of the bad fitting in the writer doc is more a problem fo the writer application. I will reassign this to ask. Hello, I think this might be a writers problem of how the OLE is inserted. Right? MRU->WG: that's w rong. the visible area for the object is handed over by the server application to the container. You will have the same effect when inserting such a document as OLE into a Calc document. Created attachment 27043 [details]
sxd to reproduce problem
Reassigned. Couldn't we resize the OLE to the maximum width of the content? It seems that we takeover the complete width of the draw doc but not the height... I am also interested in this. I am going to try to file a bug report to improve writer behavior. Maybe things will get better this time. This same bug has been reported many times. 16156: Aug 2003, OO 1.1 20643: Oct 2003, OO 1.1 28046: Apr 2004 50398: Jun 2005, OO 2.0 beta 53266: Aug 2005, 680m122 72879: Dec 2006, OO 2.1 73343: Jan 2007, OO 2.1 81143: Aug 2007, OO 2.2.1 82873: Oct 2007, OO 2.3 93426: Sep 2008, OO 2.4.1 and OOO300m4 If the author of this Issue is still online, please consider the contents of 16156 and 93426.
