Bob, If you are submitting a document for publication in some magzine, they will NOT want you to try to insert photos into the text. They will want the text completely unformated (other than paragraphs)...no fancy captalization, underlining, etc. They will only have to undo all that special formating anyway. And I've never heard of magazine that wanted anything other than some version of Word. Provide captions for photos separately. Then send the photos with numbers to match the captions. If you're self-publishing this document, I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Star Office 6 software. I do know that Word allows inserting images and they stay put. I've recently self-published a 216 page book with Word with 300 photos, maps and diagram so it can be done, it just takes some time! Brooks
