[DRAW] from A4 to A3, also objects OLE, how?

You have discovered that drawings in LibreOffice (perhaps understandably) behave differently from text documents. Whereas text flows naturally from one page to another in a text (Writer) document, material in a drawing (Draw) document is positioned in individual slides and does not flow between them. The moral, of course, is that you need to decide on your final format before positioning material.

But there may be a workaround. You appear now to want to print the A4 images on A3 sheets. LibreOffice has a "brochure" facility which enables you to print images in this way - combining two slides onto one page and automatically positioning them so that a resulting stack of double-sided A3 sheets will fold into a correctly ordered A4 booklet with one of your A4 images on each page.

o Return your slide format to A4 and Portrait.
o Print your document with your printer settings at A3 and Landscape.
o To create a brochure, either go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Draw | Print | Page options and select Brochure, or (on the fly) in the Print dialogue, select Options... | Page options | Brochure.

Even if you don't want the slides ordered as for a brochure, you may be able to print parts of the document to create the required effect, possibly by saving parts of your document as separate documents. If possible, you may wish to install a virtual PDF printer (freeware versions are available), so that you can practise to see what happens without wasting your nice A3 paper. Note that LibreOffice's own Export as PDF... facility cannot help you here, as this does not respect the brochure concept.

I trust this helps.
