Hi :)
Would this mean that renaming a copy of the new picture would make it replace the old picture in 
the document?  If so then that might well be the easiest, fastest option
Regards from
Tom :)

Hello List,

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.  I have found that my 
documents seem to load and print just fine as they were originally saved.  But I have not been 
able to locate a method to replace the graphic images in a document, either by the top menu or 
by right clicking the image.

The only way I have found is to delete the image and then insert the new image from scratch!  
This is most difficult for precise image size and placement.   I use a standard aspect on my 
camera (3:2) and have the image size for all four photos exactly the same.  They are also 
positioned to allow just a barely visible white line between the photos for cutting.  And the 
margins are set to be allowed on my printer without the images being cropped off.

To duplicate all these settings on every image is way too time consuming.  I need to be able to 
simply change the image in the four graphic entities without effecting size, placement or aspect 
ratio of the original image.

Anybody have any suggestions that I might try to replace the images of a document?

Thank you,
James


Have you tried to insert a frame, and then put your photo into it?

Have you tried linking the images instead of embedding them. Call them 1,2,3,4 and just copy over 
them with the new images each time.
