Bear in mind that you have to keep the mouse button pressed down. If you just 
right mouse button click, I've found that the context menu only appears briefly 
before disappearing. I have to keep the button pressed down and move the mouse 
cursor onto the menu entry in order for the dialog to be opened. Not a huge 
nuisance for someone used to working with interfaces, but a PITA for non-tech 
savvy users who complain :-)))

Have any of you noticed that the binary data isn't available in the table 
representation of the data once images are stored in that field ? This is what 
I've noticed with the JDBC connector and was wondering whether it is a 
connector problem because with the MySQL query browser, you get the option to 
view the data as both binary data and the actual image representation. In the 
OOo table view, I have just a load of blank fields. One would expect at least 
the binary data representation. This used to be the case for memo fields in 
earlier versions of OOo, haven't checked recently whether that's still the case.
