Openoffice Writer Document Form + Drawing

I would like to use OpenOffice Writer to complete a form which a user will be able to use a small section of it to use select tools to draw over top of an image. For example, there might be a 200x200px box with a picture of a Christmas tree, where the user can click on a tool, like box, line, text, and click on the image to mark it. Kind of like Microsoft Paint, except using OpenOffice. The image will need to save automatically with the writer document, which will use forms.

The writer document might look something like this:

Date: [FORM INPUT]
Name: [FORM INPUT]
Picture: [BACKGROUND IMAGE + SIMPLE PAINT TOOLS TO DOODLE]

[SAVE FORM BUTTON]

The paint tools will need to be very simple, and alongside the image. A later version of this will require the ability to use a drop-down list to select a different image, which will be the same size, and will swap with what is already showing. If you are fluent with OpenOffice this may result in additional work for you down the road!
