Re: [libreoffice-users] Size of an ODG inside of an ODT

Hi :)
I don't know what is going wrong there.

The way i get images into a document is to simply drag them in.  It sounds
like you are trying to do something over-complicated but there is probably
a good reason for it.  My way means the document ends up being quite
heavy.

So i open the document and then open the folder with the images in.  Then
simply click and drag the image from the folder into the document.

i never expect images to appear the right size to start with.  In the rare
cases where i have control over the physical size of the image on-screen i
try to make it about twice the size that it's going to appear when printed
in order to try to make it sharp enough but not tooo heavy.

I tend to prefer resizing by right-click on the image and then select
"Picture" to open a dialogue-box with tons of options for anchor-point,
wrap, borders, spacing and all the rest so that i can have a first stab at
doing all of that in one go.  That way of resizing means i can keep the
aspect ratio to avoid distorting the images.  Most people are familiar with
the output of Word so they don't mind if images and logos do get distorted
but i prefer to be more accurate.

Regards from
Tom :)
