I'm stumped: I can't seem to find a way to add/remove curve/spline/polygon points.

There was an "Edit Points" toolbar in OO.org 2.x, and it's still referenced in NeoOffice Impress help. I'm not using impress, though, I'm drawing directly in NeoOffice Calc. But it doesn't appear in View->Toolbars, and I can't seem to find it anywhere. There is the "Edit Points" button in the drawing toolbar, but it's useless if I can only move points and do nothing more Sad

Thus: how to get access to "Edit Points" toolbar, or, if it doesn't exist anymore: how to edit curve points (add/remove/change type).

Thanks! -- Kuba

The problem you are encountering is that Calc only supports a small subset of the drawing capabilities that NeoOffice's Draw and Impress documents support. In NeoOffice's underlying OpenOffice.org code, Calc shares very little code with Draw or Impress so while some features may look the same, they are actually similar features that were developed separately by Oracle's Calc and Draw and Impress engineers.

One workaround is to select the File :: New :: Drawing menu and then copy the Calc shape and paste it into the new Drawing document. You can then use the Edit Points feature in the Drawing document to edit the shape and copy and paste it from the Drawing document back into the Calc document.

Does the above workaround work for you?
