Re: Text and pictures
In Writer, right-click on the picture that you've inserted into the document and look for the Wrap item in the menu that pops up. Experiment with the different options. You may also want to experiment with the Alignment item in the same menu.

I wrote a lengthy poem for my wedding which my wife would like to have framed, consequently I would like to copy and paste some pictures on to it. I figured the easiest way would be to copy and paste the text into the draw progamme but when I did this it seemed to only copy the first line of text and expanding the box only made the text bigger. I tried to see if I could copy and paste a picture into the poem but this only succeeded in moving the text down to make way for the picture.
