Question #78653 on openoffice.org in ubuntu changed:

Tony Pursell proposed the following answer:
Hi Eric

Surely the way to do this is open up a new instance of Draw, define a
smaller page size, copy your drawing to it, then embed that.

You can copy just what you have drawn, with no superfluous white space,
by using the mouse to select all the drawing. Its a bit hard to
describe, but you hold the left button down and sort of draw a box round
all your drawing, and when you let go the button the box will snap close
to the drawing as a sort of frame you can copy with Ctrl-C.

You can even copy this frame straight into a Write document.

Hope this helps

Tony
