Inserting jpeg into .odt document
I have created a document, saved with the .odt extension.
I want to insert a .jpeg file int the document, between paragraphs in the
teext within the document.
I am having difficulty getting the .jpeg file to appaer and print within
the document.
Would some kind soul here walk me through the steps I need follow to
accomplish this task.
I have looked in the Pictures Toolbar list, found the "Insert File" command
button but cannot get that command button to appear in the standard tool
bar by copying into the standard tool bar, nor can I get the Pictures
toolbar to open at all.
I am seriously off the track here and would appreciate some guidance.
Thank you.

o Go to Insert | Picture > | From File... .
o Browse to and insert the picture.
o Drag a corner of the picture to adjust its size. Hold down the
Shift key when releasing the mouse button to maintain the aspect
ratio of the picture.
o Drag the picture into position.
o Right-click the picture and go to Anchor > and Wrap > separately.
Experiment with settings to suit.

That's simply an alternative route to the same place as Insert |

I don't know why you need to do this. Buttons are where they are. But
if you really need to:
o Go to Tools | Customise... | Toolbars.
o For Toolbar, select Standard.
o Click Add... .
o Under Category, select Insert.
o Under Commands, select From File.
o Click Add and Close.
o Use the arrow buttons to move the button around in the Standard
toolbar as preferred.
o Click OK.

Go to View | Toolbars > | Picture.
I trust this helps.

You can also try to change the anchoring.
As character is the most robust but allows less layouts with the text.
