[Solved] Copying JPG from other documents

Post by pauliw25 »

In the novel I am writing at the beginning of each chapter I have a header like:

Chapter number
(a small jpg file is inserted here)
Chapter name

In using LO Writer - I select all three items and choose Copy - then open the new document and select Paste.

However, the only thing being paste is the Chapter Number and Chapter Name. The inserted JPG is being omitted.

How can I copy all three items from one .odt document and copy them to another?

Perhaps the pic is anchored to the page or a paragraph that is not in the selection.

You were correct that the jpg was anchored to the page.

Since then, I changed it so it would be anchored to the paragraph and now I have a new problem.

When I copy:

Chapter Number
JPG
Chapter name

When I do a Paste - it is copying the jpg - but it also moves it to above the chapter number.

It depends on ho you've put the chapter number and chapter name. Can you upload a sample file?

Since an exact copy of the problem could not be achieved by doing a copy and paste of the original document. I decided to create a new page.

However, in doing so - somehow - and I do not have the foggest idea how - I managed to resolved the problem.

Strange.....

Thanks for your help anyway, Hagar. :)
