Re: [libreoffice-users] Badly formatted document

Is it possible it is an old document from an earlier version of LO.
A while back the way LO anchored images (and frames) was changed, images 
in tables were particularly affected throwing out text positioning also 
and I had to go through all my manuals and change my image anchoring to 
"as character".
