Hi!
I remember that problem from first versions of writer as well as word up
to version 2k, when I leave it. That problem was caused by large amount
of graphics, small amount of computer memory and use of complicated
graphics formatting and placement elements, like those you mentioned.
I don't know from where comes idea to insert pictures into frames, but
I think it's definetly not good idea. From your description I also
understand that you are using frame in frame for every picture, if your
are using build in function auto caption or Insert --> caption.
You should give a try to insert pictures in tables (without frames) and
add captions to tables (without frames, too), if you need advanced
placement of pictures or insert captions manually using Insert --> Field
(F2) function (also without frames). This is described earlier in this list.
Another suggestion is to read help section, where inserting graphics is
described and to use that method which is recommended by developers.
I hope this will help!

Thanks for the info. However, I'm not placing the pics in a frame and
then in another frame. Each pic is inserted into one frame. Then I
caption the frame. The pic is anchored to the frame. I do this manually.
What do you mean exactly by 'manually' ? If you right click, then select
Caption, OOo DOES insert a frame to place the caption.
I've never heard of inserting pics into a table (I guess you mean a 1x1 table.
Is
this the officially recommended way of handling pictures with captions?
Personally, I insert a table, 2 rows : one for the picture, the other for the
'caption'. If I need a numbered caption, I use an AutoText, inserting both the
table, and the caption text with the automatic numbering.
I believe a frame is only inserted around a pic if you use autocaption.
If you don't use autocaption I believe it justs places a caption above
or below the pic.
Same behavior for AutoCaption or context menu.
Hagar.
By "manually" I mean I first create a frame, then I insert the pic into
the frame and anchor it to the frame. Then I caption the FRAME (not the
pic).
I can see how a table could work. But it may not stop the pics from
disappearing (although maybe it would). Someone else said they worked
around the disappearance problem (in an earlier version) by using links
instead of embedding. I'm considering doing this for all 90 pics (but
with my luck I can imagine the links disappearing). Either way, I have
to handle 90 pics.
Thanks for your input.
