trouble inserting pictures

OS Debian 6.0.6 Squeeze, abiword 2.8.2, downloaded as Debian
package.

When I insert JPG pictures, they are stretched and distorted to full
page length after the file is saved and reopened. This also happens if
the document is saved as PDF. JPG seems preferred to PNG for photos for
smaller files, so I haven't tried PNG.

Also, I cannot resize pictures with the mouse while maintaining aspect
ratio.

Tried FAQ and back 3 years in the archives without finding help. Tried
inserting page break after picture with no improvement. Web search gave
no useful results.
