--- Comment #2 from legoroboticist at gmail.com ---
I downloaded & installed LibreOffice 6.1.0.3 (x64), along with the Help file,
onto my HP 8470p Windows 7 laptop with 4GB RAM.  I performed the same functions
of attempting to paste multiple images in a document.  (I want to document
Comcast Internet speeds through different servers.  I took screen captures
after each test showing the speed and server connected to.)

NOTE:  All images sources being copied in this report were from MS Paint,
cropped, selected & copied then attempted to be pasted directly into
LibreOffice Writer.  

This is what I have discovered regarding pasting images into LibreOffice
Writer:  

1.)  The first image you paste into a document goes to the top of the first
page.  You can move it down that page.  

2.)  The next image you paste in go to the top of the first page.  You can move
it down that page.  

3.)  If you make a <Hard Page Break> the next image you paste will go to the
top of the page below the <Hard Page Break>.  You cam move the image down the
first page below the <Hard Page Break>.  

4.)  If you have several pages with soft breaks and attempt to paste an image
the near the bottom of those several pages the image pastes to the top of the
page below the lowest <Hard Page Break>.  

5.)  You can move the recently pasted image down the first page below the <Hard
Page Break> but if you attempt to move it to a page below a soft break the
image jumps to the bottom of the page below the <Hard Page Break>.  

CONCLUSION:  It does not seem to be possible to paste in image directly to the
cursor location in the current version of LibreOffice Writer.  

WORK AROUND:  You can use a <Hard Page Break> to paste images onto the page you
need it to appear.  

CAVEAT:  Using <Hard Page Break> to place multiple images on different pages
could interfere with edits of the contents of the rest of the document
regarding overall page layout.  

Planned follow up:  Within the next few days I will make sure both my Windows 7
PC & my Windows 10 PC have the latest versions of LibreOffice and perform the
same image captures and pastes into Writer.  I will update this Bug Report with
my findings.  

Thank you for your time.
