the images disappeared

On a Libre Office document all the images disappeared, replaced with empty frames and Image numbers. I loaded the latest version of JRE but there has been no change. Help!

OS name, LO version, save format?

Meanwhile, go to Tools>Options, LibreOffice Writer>View and see if Display *Images & objects` is ticked. If not, tick it (update may have reset it – Windows?)

EVERY image of 20 years disappeared…the only thing that shows up is a “box” that shows where each image was: “IMAGE1 Copy1” w/ icon of sun&mountain and ONLY the written title. 10000s of images. STUPIDEST button to ever have on any computer!!!

This is not at all a solution to the initial question. Please delete it (only you can do that) and repost as acomment under the initial post.

The fix in your case is easy: go to Tools>Options, LO Writer>View and tick box Images & Charts; or tick menu View>Images & Charts.

Your directions: under TOOLS…there are only these choices: UP DATE Prot. Doc. MACROS
NO IMAGES & CHARTS!!

Have you opened Options, the very last item in the Tools menu? You didn’t mention your OS; if you’re under MacOS, you should go to the Preferences menu. Otherwise try the tick box in the View menu (you didn’t specify your LO version either; the UI changed a bit in 24.x with more items in the View menu).

last item on TOOLS is XML Filters Extensions Customize

PS…when I get notices to “UPGRADE” anything…if it is NOT BROKEN…I ignore it, cause I do not want
what I HAVE WORKING CORRECTLY, damaged!! ;+(

Please give us more details:

On LO version…can’t find that info?? did find UPDATES…are weekly

all those items that show up, if I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEM, I do no CLICK on them! OBVIOUSLY this time,
that icon that made all images disappear…got hit !!

By the way…YOU have got to be a REAL person…not merely AI…whom ever…thanks for trying to help!

No AI here!
In Writer, go to the Help > About LibreOffice menu and click on the Version Information button so to save it to the clipboard. Then paste it here using Ctrl+V.


Someone was telling me what to check…nothing I was told to click on, showed up on my screen…THUS why I wrote
the last email…

  1. ALL IMAGES have disappeared from my 20 years of saved documents…
    when an icon w/ the mountain & sun was accidentally clicked< STUPIDEST button to EVER HAVE ON YOUR WINDOW

  2. Your “guide” says ASK A QUESTION…I do NOT have a NEW TOPIC…have the same issue… and there is no PASTE A LINK HERE

Do you at least know which operating system you are using?
Is it:

  • Windows ?
  • Linux ?
  • MacOS ?
  • Others?

PS: Capital letters are interpreted as shouting.
We can also read normal writing.

Remembering what others wrote for MacOS: You must look under Preferences.

Gads…had note written, it disappeared!! your window had “VERSION INFO”…thus I typed that info below
This one finally opened giving me a link to click on…that window opened BUT
that shows 4 lines:

VERSION: 24.2.4.2 (x86_64/ libreOffice Community)

YOUR NOTE: In Writer, go to the Help > About LibreOffice menu and click on the Version Information button so to save it to the clipboard. Then paste it here using Ctrl+V.

WHERE do I find “Writer”…
and then Where to find CLIPBOARD
…sorry for stupid questions…but I am lost!!
All info I’ve shared would not COPY, thus I typed them in

As requested: VERSION: 24.2.4.2 (x86_64/ libreOffice Community)

and THANK GOD you are a REAL person…if AI could talk like you have been, THAT would be spooky!!!

Not sure what your first name is…and didn’t want to just “leave you hanging”…
but thank you…sorry I could not catch up.
I have a dental appointment, and gotta close up for now.

Got a neighbor who used to work with corporations with COMPUTER issues…
she said she’d stop in tonight and see if she can fix this…

Do appreciate your time…just so you know I’m not a total DORK…
please check out my website…which I do all the loading of images and
