Re: [libreoffice-users] problem with the pictures

Depending on the nature of your picture/graphic, you need to set 
different anchor point. If your graphic is not related to the text and 
it's only decorative to the page, you anchor to the page. If it's 
related to certain paragraph, anchor around to *that* paragraph.

If you click on an image, you will see "anchor icon" displaying either 
in the beginning of a paragraph, or a page. If you anchor it to a 
paragraph, and if you delete/insert more texts before anchored 
paragraph, your image will be pushed down or up along with other texts; 
very useful if your image is related to that paragraph. You can also 
drag "anchor icon" around to anchor to other paragraph.

Make sure to match "anchor point" and "position to."    If you anchored 
it to page, position it to "entire page"(usually). If you anchored it to 
paragraph, position it to "paragraph area." This is, of course, general 
setting and you might want to set it differently according to your needs.
