Re: [libreoffice-users] LO to .doc with background image?

Hi :)
Perhaps the problem is in Word?  There are a few different options.  

1.  Tell the client that Writer is more of a desktop publishing package than Word and allows 
greater sophistication in layout.  Then give the client the link so they can download and install 
LibreOffice on their systems.  

2.  Post a bug-report against Word and see the response from MS.  (I don't think it is possible for 
non-MS staff to post bug-reports about MS products but it might be).  

3.  Word doesn't support all the different types of Anchor points for images and also might not 
support the wrap options and layering.  I suspect it's the Anchor Point that is creating the 
problem this time.  Right-click on the image and change the Anchor Point from "To Page" to 
something Word can handle such as "To Paragraph".  You might then need to re-position the image.  

Regards from
Tom :)
