Have you tried inserting a table to your page? 3 columns and two rows. Row 1 is for the pictures and row 2 are for the text for each photo. You can easily center the photos in each of their cell[s]. Seems to work for me. I tried it in LO 4.2.2.1 on a Linux Mint/MATE OS.Yes, in another post there is a comment about the object memory size. If the Memory size of the object and the number of objects values are too low, it might give you problems. Remember, the file size and the "memory size" are not the same. JPG images have a compression rating and can be much smaller than the memory that is needed to display it. I worked with a 4 MG file size JPG file and it took almost 20 MB of memory in the image editor. If I set the memory per object to 10MB and need 20MB, then they will be issues with the document, or so I have seen in tests a year or two ago.
I never tried the Anchor to a Character before. I usually use Page or Paragraph types. But Page anchoring is not "wise" if you document will be added to before the image page, since the relative position of the image[s] in the document will change.

Hi :) Ahh, i was going to say i have more luck with "Anchor to page" but i strongly suspect Dan's finesses would fix all that Regards from Tom :) On 3 May 2014 21:32, Dan Lewis <elderdanlewis@gmail.com> wrote:On 05/03/2014 04:06 PM, Virgil Arrington wrote:On 05/03/2014 10:08 AM, Ian McCarthy wrote: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 - 4.2.1.1I 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. Virgil Suggestion: When inserting pictures, create an empty paragraph.Insert a frame in this paragraph, and insert the picture or pictures in the frame. Anchor both the frames and these pictures "As Character". You should also create a paragraph style for your frames so that you can align them horizontally uniformly. This also permits you to have a border around each frame if you like or no border. The document guides for LibreOffice contain pictures in the hundreds with no apparent problem inserting and anchoring pictures. --Dan -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscribe@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to- unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
