text with pictures
I hope that I sent this request to the correct location.
In MS Office I can copy a web page that contains both text and pictures and paste it into MS Word. How do I capture both text and pictures into Apache Open office? Please advise.

That is not sufficient. As I said before "There seems to be a problem copying when using Safari
on a Mac."
Chrome and Firefox will copy and paste properly into AOO writer for me. Safari doesn't.

Larry,
I used Safari to go to Google (not Google Chrome) before going to the website to copy the text with pictures. Was that sufficient or do I need to replace Safari with Firefox or Google Chrome? Please advise

There seems to be a problem copying when using Safari on a Mac. If you use Firefox or Google
Chrome as a browser, copying and then pasting into AOO Writer works.

I ran into this question about a month ago on some list, and I tried it.
In OpenOffice org 3.4.1 Writer you can definitely do it--
select the area of the page which includes the text and picture, using
the mouse, do ctrl-c, and then paste it into the word
processor. This is the Linux version of OO I'm working with. If you're
using Windows, it will work with WordPerfect--don't
know about OO.

The Menu item is /Insert /Picture, and you should then be offered a choice of "From File..." or "Scan"; this is nothing to do with the menu item /File.

Components of Apache OpenOffice: Writer is a word processor (for
text documents), Calc is for spreadsheets, Draw is for graphics, Math is
for writing mathematical formulas, and Base is for databases.

"Writer" is what OO calls the word processor program--at least in Linux.
I'm not familiar with what they do in Macs, but it must be almost the same.
I wouldn't guarantee that something that works in Linux also works in MacOs.
Just because MacOs is based on Unix doesn't mean everything is just the same
--and Linux is not quite the same as Unix, but almost.

I am using Open office 3.4.1 on a Mac pro. How do I add the writer to my open office, or is that the same as my text document?
Please advise.

Quite the same, just copy and paste.
It may take some time until AOO retrieves the pic from the net.
You may have better results to copy and paste as unformatted text and save the pics on your HD before inserting them with the Insert>Picture>From file menu.
