That can be likely done by a macro, but I have not written such a macro. 
If you accept the dispatcher kind macros, you can record a macro for 
setting this property. In LibreOffice you need to enable this first in 
the Advanced sections in the General options. You can make a toolbar 
button for executing the macro or define a shortcut key. This way will 
be really quick once it is prepared.

Other idea: If the paragraph is empty apart from the image, you can use 
a special paragraph style. If you have assigned it once, it is listed in 
the paragraph style drop-down-list of the toolbar. That will be a 
quicker access then opening the paragraph properties dialog.

I'm user since 1999 with StarOffice 5.1 and happy to try out new things. 
This way a lot of knowledge collects over time. But there are still 
parts in the application, which I do not know at all, for example "XML 
Form Document".

 I'll not go back to MS Word, because I work in Linux, I don't

I hope my suggestions will solve it for you.

Kind regards
