Hi :)
Have you had any luck in fixing the issue? If not then it might be
good to post a new question to the Users List or perhaps just make a
comment in the old thread to "bump the thread". I guess you have
already found documentation?

Tom-
Thanks for the reply - I've read the documentation, but the options
described there just aren't cutting it for me. I was hoping that there
was a more advanced anchoring interface that wasn't visible by default.
For now, I'm still anchored to the page and have to move all of my
graphics when the edits change the placement of the text reference.
Pretty painful! It would be easier even if I could just get at the
underlying XML data, a la InkScape, to be able to make my changes in the
anchoring location.

I've been frustrated with my experience trying to anchor frames
(containing figures and captions). What I'd really like to do is
anchor a frame to a character (which refers to the frame's
contents), but not force a large white space on the page if the
anchor character and the frame don't fit on the same page. In
other words,
A) Obtain the reference character's Y coordinates, Cy
B) Obtain the frame's Y dimension, Fy
C) Obtain the text area's Y dimension, Py
C) If Py- Fy > Cy, place frame at bottom of character's page
D) else, place frame at top of page following character's page
Is this possible with LO Writer? What I've been forced to do at
this point is to anchor the frame to the page, then move all of
the frames in the document when my edits move text.
Thanks,
Ethan
