Can MS Office be more hideous than this? I decided to make a small database of bicycle spare parts in Calc, in which I would include a photo of each part as it's easier to scan a printout for a picture than look up words. Copying a graphic file from Gimp, etc. (or even another cell) and pasting into a cell produces these results: - the anchor may be in the selected cell, or it could be to the sheet, or in the cell above, or the cell to the left - the cell must not only be selected (heavy border) but in direct text-entry mode to have any hope of pasting into the cell, otherwise the graphic will be anchored to the sheet for sure. You can change the anchor so that the graphic is equivalent to a character, with these results: - if you hide the column in which the graphic character is located, the graphic is still visible, but it should be hidden like all the other text characters in that column. In fact, they are not only not hidden but they obscure the contents of the neighbouring visible (= non-hidden) cells - the same goes for hiding rows - if you resize the cell, the graphic overlaps into neighbouring cells, unlike what would happen if it were a real text character or string, which gets masked off at the borders. The database file is located in the same folder as the graphic files. This is important because the graphics are imported by reference, i.e. the graphics are loaded when the Calc file is opened. Except some aren't but are randomly not loaded. I was the point of submitting a bug report when I lost all the content and didn't have the motivation to redo it all. Time to copy this email into a new bug report. Regards, Hedley P.S.
