I have found that if you paste the figures into *Draw*, then select them all
(select the first then hold down the Shift key while selecting the second
and subsequent ones), group them together (right click inside the selection
and choose Group from the submenu that appears) and then, finally,
copy/paste the *group* into writer I got good results in the type of
situation you describe.
It is not clear to me why Writer doesn't have a *group* function for its
drawing objects. I don't even seem to be able to select more than one
drawing object in Writer. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong ????

Hello I am using version 2.0.3 of OpenOffice.org. My problem is :
using OpenOffice Writer sometimes I can not control the pasting of
figures. For example I want to put three figures together in one line
and they are moving in strange way, when I try to paste one figure
close to other, it is moving to other place. It is exactly this same
problem I had with Microsoft Office. Why ? Regards Emil Sekula
This is one area that is causing people around work here to move to OOo
from MS Office.
With images, you can change the "anchor". Change the anchor to character
and this may help. If the anchor is set wrong, you cannot place the
images exactly where you want them. This is something you have to play
with.
