The new "crop" button added to OpenOffice.org 3 apears only on impress not on
writer, so is imposible to crop a image if you dont use the "old way"... I have
searched all around and there is no crop button.
Also you should change the icon, because is the same of a typical "cut" (of the
copy, paste, cut windows buttons).

Currently the crop tool has only be designed for draw. Writer's graphics are
designed differently from those in draw, thus it is not so easy to directly
integrate this feature.
This is also related to issue 3545.

MRU->OD: would it be possible somehow to overtake the cropping tool from
Impress/Draw in Writer?
