I' assuming 'copy'
(too lazy to check, sorry)

Linking would likely cause the same mess which numist_net mentioned.
I'm assuming linking means saving the location of the image in you OOo document. If the original image changes location (or you e-mail the document without specifically sending the image with it for example), OOo will be unable to find the image at the location it says in the document, and will thus not load the image.

"Copying" most likely means inserting the actual data that makes up the image into your OOo file. This makes the document a lot larger (disk-space-wise) but ensures that whenever,wherever, whoever opens the document will see the image.

So I say: "copy"
