Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with two issue I am finding in LO

Hi Tim

That's it, you got it, what I (and all of my customers using LO) are 
experiencing.

And this behaviour happens whether posting from the web or locally from 
the hard drive. What I find strange, is that if there is already a laid 
out document (locally), or a web page with text and pictures, they will 
cut/copy and paste correctly and lay out in the new document. LO seems 
to preserve (within reason for the different formats) the format of a 
previously created document.

This seems to only happen when one is creating a "new" document with 
text, and one wants to paste in images of any sort. And as I iterated in 
my post, if you choose too many images, it seems to stall and sometime 
crash LO Writer, I think because they are being stacked on top of each 
other, it causes a resource overflow (my opinion of what I think is 
happening).

Regards

Andrew
