Re: [libreoffice-users] Replacing graphic images in documents

I've had problems with getting proper positioning of images in a 
document with multiple columns.  I move things just a little, and the 
image may jump to some crazy place, e.g., swapping places with a line or 
covering up a footnote or jumping to a different column, etc .  I tried 
using a frame but found that the frame was too big and covered up some 
of my footnotes.  I'm using LibreOffice 3.4.3 under Windows 7.

p.s.  I tried installing LibreOffice 3.4.4 but couldn't remember how to 
do it with multiple language support, so I sent a question to this list 
on that.
