Re: trouble inserting pictures

I am using Abiword 2.8.2 in an Ubuntu 10.04.4 installation and have
the same experience when inserting a picture directly into the
document.

For me it works out much better to insert a "Text Box" and then insert
a picture inside the "Text Box".

Doing it that way maintains the picture's shape and size after saving it.
