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

Hi Andrew,

I just had a look at the writer issue. Keeping it simple I downloaded 2 
images from the web into my downloads folder.

I opened a new writer document, went to my file browser and selected 
both images (FWIW a jpg & a gif). When I pasted into writer the 2nd 
image was pasted on top of the first. Is that what you see? I expected 
to see the images separated in some way.

Cheers
