very clear and precise description, thank you!

The only problem currently, is that if you do this multiple times, without removing the images that you inserted previously, then save the document, close it, and open it again, you will not be able to remove any of the inserted images...they do not show up in the list. So you end up with a large file with many images embedded in it.
The only way to fix this is to rename the ODT to ZIP, extract all the files/folders, and remove the images and their references from the source files.

Should’ve have continued further to instruct how to make the image lighter (like a watermark).

Thank you very much. I had been looking in the wrong section.
