How do I get images from OpenOffice Writer into SoftChalk?


Since you cannot copy an image from Open Office and paste the image into SoftChalk, you can use the following method to transfer images: 

  1. In OpenOffice writer, save the document as HTML (go to File/Save As and set the Type to html).
  2. Close OpenOffice.
  3. Double-click on the new file you created, which will have an .html extension.  (This .html file will be a copy in addition to your original document.)
  4. Your .html file should open in a web browser.
  5. Select everything you see in the browser and choose File/Copy.
  6. Start SoftChalk Create and choose File/Paste.

There may be some small changes/losses in formatting but the images will be there.
