Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Image problems

Tom

I always use text boxes (LO Frames) and place one image inside each box.

I love text boxes - I use them all the time - they are stable and you 
can overlay pictures etc.

Text boxes do not tend to jump all over the place or anywhere at all.

Remember to click off the edge pullers in LO or else you cannot insert a 
new one.
