I only get a frame and a blank area. I go Insert picture from file. the pictures are jpgs.
That was all it took
Yes me too. Pity it is isnt the default option. Se aren’t all computer whizz kids 
Maybe:
Menu Tools → Options → LibreOffice Writer → View →
Display
Graphics and objects [enabled]
Thanks for the solution but it didn’t work for me.

Worked for me, thank you!
It sounds to me like you want to copy+paste an image from a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Firefox). By default, LibreOffice pastes an image copied from a browser as HTML, but you simply want the image to be copied intead of the HTML.
This can be easily achieved; simply use CTRL+SHIFT+V and choose bitmap.
it solve my problem.thx
