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.

Hi James,

For years with OpenOffice I was able to use a
document as template to
print my photos on 8 1/2"x11" photo paper by
reloading the document and
simply replacing the images.

I think it was UBuntu version 11 that changed me
over to LibreOffice.
Argh, nasty situation.
I remember a quite extensive discussion in
OpenOffice.org some year or so ago (don't over-ask my
memory) where the behaviour was discussed what to do when an
image is selected and a new image is inserted. And that in
Writer, Impress/Draw, Calc.
And indeed, it was about: should a newly inserted
image replace the selected one or be added alongside.
So no doubt, that the change you experience is a
result of what has been discussed then.
I think, without real code work, there is little
relief for you...
But maybe the behaviour in Draw is different (I'm
afraid not...)
Hmm, it would not be too difficult to write a macro to
do the changes for you. Maybe that's an idea?
Kind regards,

So it sounds like their discussion ended with "Just don't
do anything!"

It has been awhile since I had to print any photos, but it
seemed to me that I would select the old image and
"Insert->Picture-> From File" on the menu and then
select the new image file to use.  It would then
replace the image with the new image.  When doing
repeat operations of even small images, I could do the first
image and resize, etc then copy/paste as many as needed and
locate on paper. Then load a new image into each one. But I have not been able to replace any images since
LibreOffice installation.  (LibreOffice Version 3.4.4
with Ubuntu 11.10)

It is difficult for me to believe I am the only one that
desires this operation.

Thank you for your response.
James
