| Dave,

Which is exactly the point that I am making. In that, it is the source
software and/or the clipboard copy method used, which generates the
problem of linked, as opposed to embedded, images not appearing in
documents or presentations. It is OOo complying with the operating
system's clipboard specifications, not some arbitrary or random action.
