Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!

Hi :)
I think the DocX format throws images around to some very strange places and 
often stacked on top of each nearly off the page.  I think the text frame blocks 
them from moving far and could be left visible to provide a nice frame.  


Personally i think sticking to Odt or Doc or even Pdf formats would be easier.  
Pdf can't be edited by many people but does have the advantage of looking 
exactly the same on every machine.  


I think the problem is not so severe when there are only 1 or 2 pictures in the 
entire document which suggests that using Draw might be better as it  a much 
larger number of embedded images more easily, but of course that might mean 
using an Open Document Format or a picture format or Pdf rather than DocX.

Regards from
Tom :)

Interesting. Historically, I had to remove pictures from text frames before they 
would export (so I stopped placing images in text boxes if I had to later 
convert to an MSO file format).

John, I take your comment to say that this should work (image in a frame) if the 
text frame is not visible.

Tony,

are your images embedded in the document, or are they inserted as links?

How are the images anchored? I always anchor AS CHARACTER when I want to export 
to an MSO format

Are the images in a text frame? If yes, what happens if you have an image that 
is NOT in a text frame?
