Pictures rotating in Writer then disappearing after pasting from Draw

Since I got my new computer, which has Windows 10 on it, sometimes, when I insert a picture from a file (just a jpg picture saved in a folder in My Documents) into a Writer document, the picture is rotated.  I then insert it into a new Draw document, rotate it, then copy and paste it back into the Writer document.  It will paste, but then when I click out of it, it disappears.  I can click on it again and move it around in the document, but then it will disappear again when I click out of it.  Very frustrating.  It didn’t do this for me when I had Windows 7, which used Windows Photo Viewer for it’s photo software.  Not sure if the problem is from Windows 10 photo software or Writer or what.  I hope you can resolve this big problem for me.  I always need to create documents with pictures of clients’ pets inserted, so I really need this to work for me.  Thank you so much!

Hi Kristine, I would suggest you use an image editor and do the edit in 
that then save it before inserting it into writer. Some image editors 
"auto rotate" and image but it doesn't actually replace the image with 
the image rotated. My favorite image editor is Irfanview I've been using 
it for years and it's free, it's not fancy, but it does what most people 
need and it's quick to use. You can visit the website: irfanview.com or 
it's available in the Windows app store.
