Click on Insert Shapes and select Circle. On the sheet, click and drag the image where ever you want. You should be able to move it also.

Hi Gudii, Please check this - https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Draw_Guide/Merge_subtract_intersect

you can use Merge and subtract to overlay images over each other. Open Office Draw has limited shapes so you can google and get more shapes added.

there is a tool called Dia that can also help too.

Also i have rectangle i am not able to write text underneath the rectangle. how to achieve this? please advise

you would have to add a text box below the rectangle to write any comments. Can you try and see if that works?

Try checking this guide and this would help you out - https://www.openoffice.org/documentation/manuals/oooauthors/DrawGuide.pdf

after writing can i delete rectangle as i just need text not that rectangle?

If you have a separate text box then you can delete the rectangle. you don't need that in the diagram.

separate text box

i do not have separate text
I have same text box in which i wrote text
i need text but not that box?
