Thank you so much! I love it that I finally found out how to ask a question! Most other sites don't respond at all.
I will try the "anchor to page". I didn't understand that at first. I still don't know what the other anchors do. And no, I can't do anything inside the image I paste - text or not. But sometimes all I can do is use Grab as "copy" doesn't work on PDFs. I really like Open Source programs. And I love LibreOffice. Well, now that my problems are being solved! Thanks again!
