Are you trying to copy-n-paste the images in?  I've never had success 
doing that.  Sometimes copy-n-paste between apps doesn't always work for 
me here (KDE/Klipper problem?  I don't know.)
But they should be able to save the images to their home directory and 
then include them in the OOo document, afaik, without too much difficulty.
I confess that I've had little success embedding images in OOo documents 
on my OSX iBook for some reason, but I've never had trouble doing it on 
my Linux box.
