Inserting an object as a background graphic is possible only from writer The steps are: 1.Open the Gallery by clicking the Gallery icon on the Standard bar, or by selecting Tools - Gallery. 2.Select a theme. 3.Select an object by a single click. 4.Open the context menu and choose Insert - Background - Page or Paragraph. In other applications (for exp. Impress) it is possible to insert an object from the gallery only as a copy or as a link but not as a background
This is duplicate to either http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46257 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=82911. yifat, please see if this problem is fixed in dev build (from http://download.openoffice.org/index.html).
No, it isn't fixed. The problem I described occur in the dev build also
It is not duplicate to bug 46257 and not to bug 82911. In Writer this feature covers objects too, for example you can set a background-picture to a Math-OLE-object this way.
