Re: [libreoffice-users] Unable to edit contour

Hi :)
Ah, you might have a border (called a frame probably) that goes all around the caption&picture.  If 
you can click on the grey border then it should allow you to set wrap options there too.

Tom :)

Thanks. That got me part way there.

The picture is aligned to the paragraph at the right border of the
page and is about half the width of the page. I needed to add space
around the bottom and the left edges. I added six points to the bottom
and it moved the caption down correctly, but did not move the text
below the caption. I added points to the left and the text did not move
at all until I added 20 points, and then the picture suddenly re-scaled
to half its original size. Apparently I am in a setting for moving the
caption, not the text around the picture.
