Ubuntu Trick : Web Images Copy & Paste Not As a Hyperlink in OpenOffice Writer

My experience to copy and paste images from the web to a document format was always kind a headache for me. When you highlight some sections in a web page that including number of images, then paste them in Open Office Writer, there will be a lot image hyper-links waiting to be uploaded to the Open Office Writer.

Hyperlink, not embedded image (click for larger images)

They're just hyper-links, not the real image that embedded into the documents. For you who open it with an online-connected computer, it won't be too much problem. But there is clear difference when you open it with an offline-connected computer. The document just give you hyper-links, not the real images.
Things will get more complicated when you copy & paste so many hyper-links, that end up with the Open Office Writer Crashes over and over again.

The Trick
Here's the trick to make it solved.

1. Always do the separate copy between text and image. for example, copy & paste the text-only first (do not include the image).
