Thank you so much, Jean-Francois. The only information given about joining this
was that I could post a question, nothing was said about receiving e-mails of
every question posted. If that had been made clear, I would not have joined.
Your answer to my question, I'm afraid, makes no sense to me because I do not
know where I should look for "Insert>Images, etc." original MS Word document or
the one I copied to Libre Office? With the original document, as I changed
picture sizes, the whole document reformatted to accommodate changes. In the
Lib. Off one I have only black boxes with red lettering inside showing some type
of designation for each picture. Can you clarify your response considering the
above information? Often I have problems with help because the helpers assume
I have more technical knowledge than I do. I'm just a retired teacher who uses
e-mail, writes with WORD and does web searches. I have no technical computer
background.

You get the emails from this list because you decided to subscribe :)
Subscribing to a mailing list such as this one has many advantages: you may ask
questions and read the answers and you may answer the questions for which you
know the solution. Mailing lists are very valuable mutual help sources.
Would you decide to unsubscribe, just have a look at the bottom of the messages,
where the mailing list server adds a few information:
Unsubscribe instructions:
Send a (empty) message to the server at E-mail to users+help@libreoffice.org. A
few moments after, you should receive an email giving more details about the
unsubscription process.
In short, you'll have to send a (empty) message to the unsubscription address
then wait a minute for an answer from the server. Then you'll have to answer
back (another empty message) to that last message in order to confirm your
desire.
Be aware that:
a. You'll have to run the unsubsription process using the very address you used
for subscription;
b. Your mailing program could consider the answers from the server as being
spam. If you don't seem to receive any answer within a few minutes, just look
there, just in case.
Now, back to your question...
I do have a question. I copied a book that I wrote with MS Word on
to LibreOffice, but none of the pictures transferred, only boxes
where the pictures would be. The computer on which I wrote the
document ran Win XP Home Edition. I transferred all my files to this
new computer, runs Win 7, downloaded LibreOffice and copied and
pasted the book to LibreOffice. No pictures. Much frustration as
there are many pictures. What's the fix? Or, will someone fix this
problem in LibreOffice. It must be a common one. Lynn
Embedding images within a document can be made under two options:
1. The images are actually made part of the document, causing it to get bigger
and bigger, according to the images size. The advantage being that you've got an
all-in-one item that is easy to carry along.
2. They can be just *linked* to the document. This way, the document size
remains small. The drawback is that you have to carry the whole lot (document +
images) together everytime you want to move things around.
Now for two new questions...
-- How do we opt for 1.or 2.?
Look at the Insert > Images > From file dialog. You'll notice there's a checkbox
saying something like "Insert as link" (not sure about the English phrasing as
I'm using a French version). Make sure it is UNchecked to embed the images
within the document.
Note that this checkbox state is saved from a session to another. This can lead
to some "strange" behaviour if it was (un)checked by mistake once.
If the images size is not gigantic, I'd suggest embedding them within the
document.
-- What if the images are simply linked and you want to store them in the
document?
Go to the Edit > Links dialog, select the images (multi selection is possible)
and click the "Unlink" button (once again, I'm not sure about the exact wording
of the button but you get the idea). Wait a few moments and you're done. Save.
Hope this helps,
