I tried a quick and dirty experiment of importing a picture (png) into
Writer. I did not have any border and filled the full width of the page.
I verified the border settings by checking the picture properties by
left clicking and opening Picture... Looking through the options, I
wonder if the picture anchoring setting in Word is different than
Writer. The default in Writer is anchor to paragraph. Another option is
whether in Word the default setting is to keep the height and width
ratio when inserting, was not set as a default for my picture.
