Don Alfonso Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 When I use paint.net to create a picture and paste ist to the clipboard, it is not possible to paste the clipboard inside an OpenOffice (2.0.2) document. The menus 'insert' and 'insert content' are greyed out. [Ctrl]-V does not work. Is this on purpose and can I manipulate this behaviour? - It is without problems possible to paste the clipboard-picture to MS-programs and even to 'The Gimp' which is also freeware. - There is also no problem to paste clipboard-pictures taken from The Gimp into OpenOffice Documents. Any help will be appreciated because I think paint.net is much more suited to my needs than The Gimp which would be second choice. (My Computer runs MS-W2K with the latest Service Pack, lots of free Memory (1Gb) and free disk space. Processor is AMD Athlon 1GHz. Paint.net Version is 2.62) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 What's the type of the file? the extension? .pdn? .png? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Alfonso Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 At that time the drawing was not yet saved on disk. But since you asked I did some testing: no matter which type you save a picture in paint.net or if you don't save it, the behaviour stays the same.

MISIIM Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Funny, I tried it too and it doesn't paste into OO. I think it is an OO problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
