You get the emails from this list because you decided to subscribe :)
Subscribing to a mailing list such as this one has many advantages: you
may ask questions and read the answers and you may answer the questions
for which you know the solution. Mailing lists are very valuable mutual
help sources.
Would you decide to unsubscribe, just have a look at the bottom of the
messages, where the mailing list server adds a few information:
Unsubscribe instructions:
Send a (empty) message to the server at E-mail to
users+h...@libreoffice.org. A few moments after, you should receive an
email giving more details about the unsubscription process.
In short, you'll have to send a (empty) message to the unsubscription
address then wait a minute for an answer from the server. Then you'll
have to answer back (another empty message) to that last message in
order to confirm your desire.
Be aware that:
a. You'll have to run the unsubsription process using the very address
you used for subscription;
b. Your mailing program could consider the answers from the server as
being spam. If you don't seem to receive any answer within a few
minutes, just look there, just in case.
Now, back to your question...
I do have a question. I copied a book that I wrote with MS Word on
to LibreOffice, but none of the pictures transferred, only boxes
where the pictures would be. The computer on which I wrote the
document ran Win XP Home Edition. I transferred all my files to this
new computer, runs Win 7, downloaded LibreOffice and copied and
pasted the book to LibreOffice. No pictures. Much frustration as
there are many pictures. What's the fix? Or, will someone fix this
problem in LibreOffice. It must be a common one. Lynn
Embedding images within a document can be made under two options:
1. The images are actually made part of the document, causing it to get
bigger and bigger, according to the images size. The advantage being
that you've got an all-in-one item that is easy to carry along.
2. They can be just *linked* to the document. This way, the document
size remains small. The drawback is that you have to carry the whole lot
(document + images) together everytime you want to move things around.
Now for two new questions...
-- How do we opt for 1.or 2.?
Look at the Insert > Images > From file dialog. You'll notice there's a
checkbox saying something like "Insert as link" (not sure about the
English phrasing as I'm using a French version). Make sure it is
UNchecked to embed the images within the document.
Note that this checkbox state is saved from a session to another. This
can lead to some "strange" behaviour if it was (un)checked by mistake once.
If the images size is not gigantic, I'd suggest embedding them within
the document.
-- What if the images are simply linked and you want to store them in
the document?
Go to the Edit > Links dialog, select the images (multi selection is
possible) and click the "Unlink" button (once again, I'm not sure about
the exact wording of the button but you get the idea). Wait a few
moments and you're done. Save.
Hope this helps,
