Hi :) The "Insert>Images etc" refers to the menus at the top of the Writer window. Note that the menus at the top are File Edit View Insert .... Help So click on the Insert menu. The menu drops down and contains similar items grouped together rather than being alphabetical. The various "Picture" (or "Image" in other releases and Word i guess) are near the bottom. "Object" just below it is for video or sound. If you select "Picture" then a sub-menu appears offering "From File" or "Scan ...". The "Scan ... " option is for scanner/printers so you probably want the "From file" choice. A 'pop-up' 'dialogue box' will appear so that you can navigate to the picture/image you want to include.
Some of the terms are quite geeky but if you follow the instructions then you will quickly understand what they mean. Good luck and regards from Tom :) ----- Original Message ---- > From: Lynn Wilde <life48dan...@att.net> > To: users@libreoffice.org > Sent: Mon, 6 June, 2011 8:19:26 > Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Multuple rules/conditions to range of cells > > Thank you so much, Jean-Francois.
