Just switch! - Beefing up presentations with clipart graphics
If you are looking at ways to beef up your StarOffice presentations, there are quite a few options. The simplest one is to just take a look at the "Gallery". The Gallery tool is called by clicking on the following toolbar button:

The StarOffice gallery includes about 1,800 clipart graphics and photos for different topics and themes. Here is a little snapshot:

Another great source for clipart graphics is www.openclipart.org:

Unfortunately, StarOffice and OpenOffice.org do not support the SVG format, yet. Thus, some conversion work is needed to integrate the OpenClipart graphics into the Gallery. To people who are willing to pay for high quality photos I personally can recommend Photos.com:

I really like their pictures. Unfortunately Photos.com is pretty expensive if you only need a high-quality photo once in a while. What clipart and photo resources do you use?

Is OpenOffice.org 2.0 going to support SVG images? That would be realy great feature. I miss it quite a lot in 1.1.

Judging from your firefox screenshots you need to update firefox (notice the red upward arrow at the top-right of the screen). Thank you and sorry for being so anal but security needs to be taken seriously.

You can vote for SVG import on the OpenOffice.org issue tracker (see my website link).

I don't know what difference voting makes. There are already >200 votes.

Wow so many votes and so old bug and nothing is being done to include this feature. Why do we even have voting. Anyway I voted and I hope they see this bug repor soon and actualy do something about it.
