Re: [libreoffice-users] Anchoring images and inserting pages.

Hi :)
Wrap is a separate setting.  


For greater finesse with images i tend to do 4 actions for each image.  It looks like it might be 
possible to even cut down on that.  


Step 1 = right-click on image and choose "Anchor" - "to page"
Step 2 = right-click on image and choose "Wrap"    - errr, in this case "no wrap" i think

Step 3 = right-click on image and choose "Picture" (or frame or whatever)

This final step allows a huge variety of settings, including wrap and padding around the wrap to 
create a space between any picture and any text that flows around it.  The 1st tab allows you to 
retain aspect-ratio and then just type in a size so that logos and such don't get distorted.  


Another tab allows you to set a url-link so that if the document is viewed on a computer then 
clicking (or rather ctrl-click) opens the systems default web-browser and takes the person to that 
website.  If you subsequently export to Pdf then people can just do a normal click in the pdf to 
get to the url you set.  

Step 4 = drag the image to where-ever looks good (but later in the document's life i might 
repostiion again)  


Yes, hindsight is wonderful but with enough of them you one day find yourself ahead of a situation. 
 "All this has happened before and will happen again" (from BattleStar Galactica).  "There is never 
enough time to get something right first time but endless time  afterwards" (dunno who)
