How does a user cut and paste a graphic from another application, like a web browser, into Abiword?
There is not really a good way to do this. The best I can come up with currently is:
- In Mozilla, If the image is a link, right-click on the image and choose
Save Image As... - If the image is not a link, drag the mouse over the picture to select it, right-click on your selected image and choose
Save Image As... - Note the name and path of the image on the
Save Picturewindow. - Click
Save. - In Abiword, click Insert Picture shortcut on the Toolbar.
- Highlight the image you saved with Mozzila in the Abiword
Open Filescreen, and selectOk.
Notes and other issues:
- Can't drag-n-drop images from browser to Abiword document.
We installed the Abiword plugin GDKPixBuf? which appears to now allow .jpeg and .gif formats to be imported into documents, possibly others.
- "Can you explain more precisely the steps you used to add these plugins?"
We are currently running 1.0.4, This may be fixed in 1.06.
