Re: text with pictures
Quite the same, just copy and paste. It may take some time until AOO retrieves the pic from the net. You may have better results to copy and paste as unformatted text and save the pics on your HD before inserting them with the InsertPictureFrom file menu.

In MS Office I can copy a web page that contains both text and pictures and paste it into MS Word. How do I capture both text and pictures into Apache Open office? Please advise.

I come from a military and hands on manufacturing environment (now retired) where there must be established procedure for every task, as I'm sure is the same for an office environment. That's very true for some environments, especially the military. That, however is spit Microsoft thinking. Choice is *almost* always a good thing. Don't be too sure about an office environment. It depends on the size of the organization and how it's structured. In short, in *many* situations choice is preferable. ..snip. Choice allowed me to continue updating the office suite! I was using OpenOffice 3.3.0 when Apache took over. When Apache released 3.4, I discovered Apache made some, IMHO bad, decisions that broke installation on my older Slackware Linux computer. Those decisions made it very painful for me to upgrade to their 3.4 version. The deal breaker was the decision to switch glibc versions. Even though the release notes stated that OO 3.4 would work on glibc 2.5 or greater, that was incorrect and in actuality, it required glibc 2.11. My computer is running glibc 2.7. I then tried building from source and discovered another Apache decision tossed the tried-and-true GNU autotools build environment in favor of something called dmake (sounds like yet another PHD project looking for a home). I tried dmake, but I still had problems building the source. I was facing updating my entire Linux computer or abandoning OO. (See my contribution to thread Installing Apache OpenOffice over LibreOffice dated 5-15-2012.) That said, when LibreOffice split off, I tried a couple of their releases with little success. So I continued to use OO 3.3. When I discovered OO 3.4 was broke, I tried LO 3.5 and discovered TDF did not make the same bad decisions that Apache had made. Deciding to stay with glibc 2.5+ allowed LO to still run on my older Linux computer. I found LO very stable, well, at least as stable as OO 3.3 and some bugs I had with OO 3.3 were fixed in LO 3.5. That was when I switched to LO. So, having the choice was a good thing for me.

This wasn't a decision, it was a bug, see https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=119385 Early testing by the user community would have avoided this bug. There is no need to be a developer to contribute to an open source project like OpenOffice. Ariel, Thanks for the update. I tend to gravitate toward processes that work, so I have not been keeping up with this bug since I switched to LO. The bug report does not seem to definitely state that this bug has been addressed in the current or even future releases. That does not give me a warm fuzzy feeling to return to AOO. As my time allows, I will keep trying the new releases until they start working without intervention. I would hope that the bug report recommendations will be acted upon and AOO becomes more friendly to older Linux systems. snip The build environment based in dmake comes from Sun Microsystem times (or may be even before that). I wouldn't know about that. I have historically re-packaged the downloaded binary packages into Slackware installation packages. After the AOO 3.4 binary would not work, my attempt at building the source, was to see if a working AOO 3.4 could be built against the libraries I already have. I have found that if I can do that with any program, the program will be the most stable. It was worth a try, but, as I said, it failed. My computer log states that the failure was something to do with a Python 5 module error (I have Python 2.5.2). There are only a very few trusted binaries that I allow to run on my system. Normally, I do build from source. However, the time involved with building a large program such as AOO is a good driver to use it's binary. Besides, until AOO 3.4, the binaries always worked well for me. snip Try the unofficial tar ball from http://people.apache.org/~arielch/packages/r1372282-glibc-2.5/#full-archived-sets you don't even need to install it. Regards Thanks, but for computer security reasons, I am _very_ reluctant to install an unofficial version. I would prefer to wait until the official, trusted, version is released. It is my impression, from more than just this issue, that the AOO Linux effort is still a bit immature and needs to settle down a bit before I can return to a stable AOO. Thanks again.
