I have a document -
https://www.dropbox.com/s/qp6rf6edhuui8qb/SpeyElectrics.v16.odt
It consists of a number of pages, the first two should have only writing
on them, then there are some line drawings, then a page with an annotated
image (page 6), followed by some more diagrams.
I am having a number of problems.
When I reopen the document after editing some of the draw lines and
other objects. Things have leapt to other pages.
When I attempt to select multiple objects so I can group them, when I
press the shift key and click, I end up on the image page page 6
When I select a line, the line tool bar does not appear. I have to draw
a new open line and then by selecting that I can get the line drawing tools
icons (to add and delete points etc), and I may then be able to edit the
line I wanted to edit.
Is it something special about this document, or is this a more general
problem.
What do I do to fix it?
I have the latest Libre Office installed - 4.2.1.1
I had a similar problem recently with a document in which I was trying to
insert about 15 pictures. It was okay until I wanted three pictures side by
side on the same page. Every time I tried to resize a picture or move it
slightly, it suddenly moved to another page. When I tried to move it back,
all kinds of things weird things happened. I think it has to do with my
anchoring settings, especially since all three pictures were anchored to
the same place, but since I just had to get the project done and didn't
have time to play with it, I imported it all into LyX and finished it
there. Later, I'll go back into LO to learn how to do it right.
I sense that LO's wysiwyg approach makes things a little more complex. I
even tried my document with pictures in a markdown editor and found it
worked better there than in LO.
Again, I'm sure a lot of has to do with my lack of knowledge of this part
of LO.

Suggestion: When inserting pictures, create an empty paragraph.
