Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 94130
missing crop tool from Impress to Writer
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:15:17 UTC
The new "crop" button added to OpenOffice.org 3 apears only on impress not on writer, so is imposible to crop a image if you dont use the "old way"... I have searched all around and there is no crop button. Also you should change the icon, because is the same of a typical "cut" (of the copy, paste, cut windows buttons).

Currently the crop tool has only be designed for draw. Writer's graphics are designed differently from those in draw, thus it is not so easy to directly integrate this feature. This is also related to issue 3545. MRU->OD: would it be possible somehow to overtake the cropping tool from Impress/Draw in Writer?
*** Issue 99111 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
OD->HBRINKM: Take over this issue. It will be solved by project "Unification of Graphic Objects and Embedded Objects" - see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Unification_of_Graphic_Objects_and_Embedded_Objects#Interactive_cropping
The original issue was for Windows. I have the same issue using Ubuntu. It is one of the reasons I keep going back Microsoft Word!!
