 |
|
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to put a picture inside a cell? Ideally I'd like it to be the result of a formula, but any method of doing so would be fine. I'm catalogueing photographs and a thumbnail of each on the same row of the spreadsheet as the description would be a huge aid.
Cheers

I think NOT. The cell contents type may be string, value or formula. Graphics are separate components anchored to the sheet not the cell.
However, the database component of OOo would suit you. Pick a database that supports images (mySQL does) and the DataSource interface will allow you to create a table containing the elements taht you want to put in your spreadsheet. Create a form using autopilot and there you are. 
Might be a bit limited though as the grid (spreadsheet) layout of the form does not support images either so the best you cound do 'out of the box' is to show the thumbnail of a selected catalog entry. |

Thanks for that reply. I had a feeling I was being optimistic!
