Hi,

In the Drawing Toolbar of Draw, there is something called the
"Explosion" in the "Stars and Banners" which you can use as starburst.
For the thought baloon, there is a "Cloud" in the Callouts. You can
access those from the toolbar or from Shape > Insert > Callouts >
Cloud; and Shape > Insert > Stars and Banners > Explosion. There are
also some shapes you can use in the Gallery (View > Gallery) in the
Shapes theme.

I hope this helps.
Rémy.

My esteemed listmates,

I need to work on graphics on my personal laptop which does not have MS
Publisher on it. I can't work on graphics online so Office 365 is not an
option.

I thought I might use Libre Draw (sometimes Writer is good like
changing background colors) as a substitute for MS Publisher but it seems
to have its own methods/learning curve.

I don't see where you find Starbursts or thought balloons like one can in
Publisher. Is that possible in Draw?

Has anyone found a comparison chart of how to do a function in MS Publisher
-vs- how to do that same function in Libre Draw?

I've Googled it and not found any.

After the wordprocessor battles were won by MS, MS released a chart for
former WordPerfect users displaying you how you used to do a function in
WordPerfect and how you do that same function in Word. Anything like that
for Draw?

Or maybe there's a free (cheap), easy to learn and use (not GIMP) graphic
program you've found as a viable substitute for MS Publisher?

Scribus is free but has an equivalent learning curve to GIMP - and if you
don't use GIMP regularly it's onerous to recall how to do tasks.

Thank you!

Charles.
