LibreOffice Writer quits when inserting picture from file

Post by Lincoln »

LibreOffice quits unexpectedly as soon as I select Insert then Picture From File. The size of the picture is 209 KB in JPEG format. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

Does it occur for the other components (like Draw, Impress)?
You can try to reset your OOo user profile.
Did it use to work before?

Hi Hagar!
Big Thanks for your reply. I will try to reset the OOo user profile then send you an update.
Today was the first time I tried to Insert a Picture From File.

Also try /Insert / File using a text or an OpenOffice file (even though you don't want to do that!); this will let us see if the /Insert mechanism is broken. With respect to the JPEG picture you are inserting, can it be opened and displayed from any other application? (Proves that the file/picture is OK).
