Thanks for the advice. Unfortunally, I saw your mail but now. My 
exported wmf files from OO.o 440 bytes and OO.o writer displays a white 
picture ... . Anyway, without exporting it into wmf, I noticed that I 
can copy and paste the eps picture from OO.o draw into OO.o writer. 
Unfortunally, OO.o writer becomes very slowly using this workaround. 
However, it works.


Best regards,

Robin
