I tried to paste the combination of text and pictures into the Apache Open 
Office text document which did not work. Which Writer document should I paste 
it into? Please advise.

 All I do is select the text and pictures, copy them (Control+C), and 
 paste it into a Writer document.

 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.

The Menu item is /Insert /Picture, and you should then be offered a choice of 
From File... or Scan; this is nothing to do with the menu item /File.

There seems to be a problem copying when using Safari on a Mac. If you use Firefox or Google 
Chrome as a browser, copying and then pasting into AOO Writer works.

I ran into this question about a month ago on some list, and I tried it. 
In OpenOffice org 3.4.1 Writer  you can definitely do it--
select the area of the page which includes the text and picture, using 
the mouse, do ctrl-c, and then paste it into the word
processor.  This is the Linux version of OO I'm working with. If you're 
using Windows, it will work with WordPerfect--don't

know about OO.

also had to
rename the oxt file from oracle-report-builder.oxt to

Install to AOO 3.4.1 this version:

With all due respect for Ariel's work, it would be nice to see some sort 
of versioning on this oxt file!  How do I know if it is any newer than 
the version (1.2.1) I already have installed?

That said, thanks go to Ariel for activating RB development again.

Writer is what OO calls the word processor program--at least in Linux.
I'm not familiar with what they do in Macs, but it must be almost the same.
I wouldn't guarantee that something that works in Linux also works in MacOs.
Just because MacOs is based on Unix doesn't mean everything is just the same
