How do I paste a screenshot to Writer?

  • 772

When I take a screenshot with say Alt + Printscreen and Ctrl + V in LibreOffice Writer, out comes only text 'screenshot'. How do paste actual image to Writer? I know the screenshot is taken due the flash and sound.

  2. Please check out this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/screen-shot-record.html

    Here is the part of the content of the page above:

    Prt Scrn to take a screenshot of the desktop.
Alt+Prt Scrn to take a screenshot of a window.
Shift+Prt Scrn to take a screenshot of an area you select.

    When you use a keyboard shortcut, the image is automatically saved in your Pictures folder in your home folder with a file name that begins with Screenshot and includes the date and time it was taken."
