Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!

Hi again :)
The 3.4.1 is development branch for early adopters it might be worth installing 
the stable 3.3.3 alongside but it's not easy.  This guide might help

It might be a good idea to post a bug-report about it but there are probably 
already quite a few.  This guide might help
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport

If you right-click on one of the pictures you can change it's "anchor point" to 
about 6 different types, such as "as character" or "to page".  MS Office doesn't 
have all those options.  With some of the options you get a lot of flexibility 
on placing the picture.  More flexibility than you can get with Word.  Also the 
wrapping options seem to behave slightly differently.  With DocX i've found the 
pictures often get thrown off to one side and piled on top of each other so that 
the ones underneath are not obvious.  It's usually fine if there are only 1 or 2 
pictures on a page but around 6 images seems to get troublesome.  There doesn't 
seem to be any trouble if i stick with Odt and not much problem with Doc either 
but i am thinking about switching to using Draw rather than Word or Writer when 
i need a lot of images on a single page again.  


If you want other people to see the page exactly the way you want it to look 
then it's best to export to Pdf but it's not much good if you want them to be 
able to edit it.  Often a good answer is to send a pdf version and an editable 
format alongside so that people can see what you were aiming for.  It might be 
good to give them a link to download and install LibreOffice as people often do 
with Adobe Acrobat when sharing Pdfs.

Regards from
Tom :)

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!

Hi everyone,

I have a Writer question.  I am using 3.4.1 on Vista, and I successfully opened 
a docx file containing text and photos.  I did some minor text editing, then 
saved the document with a new filename but still as a docx.  When I opened that 
file, the images had disappeared!

Any ideas?  It's not a disaster as I still have the original document, but I 
would like to be able to save images with docx!

Thanks,

Tony Royston.
