Well I've found it no too. You are right. Thanks for the tips. I will use an external program then.

Hey Guys,
I am currently writing a manual and need to insert screenshots. Can I somehow crop the pictures directly in Writer without opening an extra programm?
Thanks a lot in advance
You may find that the Crop function in LibreOffice is slightly disappointing, compared to competing productivity suites. I think it is the only function that has ever made me feel a bit embarrased when comparing it to Word...
When writing manuals I usually crop in a screenshot program and then insert into Writer. Shutter is a good one for Linux and Greenshot for Windows. But lately I have used ScreenPresso on Windows. It is not open source, but make very nice screen shots.
