Dear members of libre office,

as I am working in the area of biochemistry, I often need to include chemical formulas into my files. We mainly use ChemDraw to creat this formulas. With the old versions it was easy to include them into the libre files by just copy paste. If I do this now, only an empty box appears. HGow can I include these pictures with the new version?

Best regards and thanks in advance,
Nina Beyer

Dear Nina,

this is a German language maillist, so I apologize for my bad English.

HGow can I include these pictures with the new version?

if you use shortcut STRG-SHIFT-V for pasting the clipboard, you will get a dialog box with a variety.
You should try each one of them. Hope one of the option will work for you.

You can use "paste special", this means you insert a field with the
complete table of calc for example. If you only paste it will be
converted in a writer-table or draw-table or what ever.

With paste special you can for example insert a drawing from draw in a
writer document and you can edit this drawing like in draw! It is a
embedded object.

I hope I could help you.

Das geht eben nicht, oder mal auf Englisch - as you have seen, that
doesn't work I'm afraid. For more information, see the links and
