Have copied and pasted part of a web page (text and pictures) into a LibreOffice Writer document.
After saving and reopening the document, I note that the pictures will NOT appear, unless I am on-line. They need to be downloaded from the net =each= time I access the document.
The browser is working as expected, saving the currently selected object (typically the HTML document), and not any other documents on the page. There is no simple way to get around this by using just your browser, other than downloading each item manually. To begin with Save-As wouldn't know which object to ignore and which to download. it may also slow your connection if the page were to have a lot of large file links or other resources so it's reasonable for only the selected object to be downloaded - worse if you only need one object, say the HTML source. Save-As authors are also saving themselves potential issues if third party linked content is downloaded where permission is not otherwise granted. LibreOffice is working as I would expect also - after all it doesn't know whether or not you actually meant to embed content instead of linking to it. I daresay there's no easy way to go around it. You may need to try right- clicking on each image on the website, downloading it, and doing an Import into your LibreOffice document.
