Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with LibreOffice-text won't stay put

Hi :)
Draw is pretty good at editing images aand it is part of LIbreOffice
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Draw_Guide

There is always Gimp (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) of course
http://www.gimp.org/

Errr, and you might find some questions are dealt with in the Faq here
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Thank you so much!   I love it that I finally found out how to ask a
question!   Most other sites don't respond at all.

I will try the "anchor to page".   I didn't understand that at first.   I
still don't know what the other anchors do.   And no, I can't do anything
inside the image I paste - text or not.   But sometimes all I can do is use
Grab as "copy" doesn't work on PDFs.

I really like Open Source programs.   And I love LibreOffice.   Well, now
that my problems are being solved!

Thanks again!

Wanda Moore
