There seems to be questions about adding artwork. Original artwork can be created in the Drawing portion of OpenOffice. You can also add pictures and photographs from your files/photographs or the Internet. If you have problems entering pictures/photographs, check to see that you have checked off the correct option under Tools, Options, OpenOffice.org Writer,View. Graphics and Objects should be checked.

I'm trying to substitute a picture for the cake and getting nowhere fast. I tried left click > insert>picture>from file>open = no result

I am trying to use birthday card template for the first time, but having problems substituting text and image. I can do this ok in Publisher. Please can you help.

Just substitute your words and add your own artwork to create a birthday card. This can be modified for use for birthday cards, greeting cards, and thank you notes. Double click on the text area on pages 2 and 3 to enter the text. The text will flip. Use the Drawing portion of OpenOffice to create the artwork. Use Fontworks in the Writer portion of OpenOffice to make fancy text. Send any comments back to glaserph@yahoo.com
