It seems using teplace doesnt achieve what i want because if the replacement image has different 
proportions from the original it is distorted when it is inserted and that is exactly what must NOT 
happen. I want the height of the images to match but the width to vary as necessary to keep the 
image ratio correct.

 You can do this - by anchoring the
 frames in a header or footer. Note 
 that the frames themselves do not need
 to be physically at the top or 
 bottom of the page to achieve this:
 they can appear anywhere, as long 
 as the anchors are in the header or
 footer. Unfortunately, this means 
 that the contents of your frames will
 also be identical on each page 
 - which is clearly not what you want.
 
As an aside i want to use the
 frames to help arrange a multitude of 
smallish images which must be
 aligned in rows and _stay_ that way. I 
think this *might* be a fairly good
 way to achieve this but i'm 
definitely open to better ideas.
 
 I suspect this problem cries out for
 using a drawing (Draw) document, 
 not a text (Writer) one.
 o Set up a single page with your images
 for that page.
 o Select the page in the Pages panel.
 o Copy.
 o Paste the page - with identical
 images - as necessary.
 o In subsequent pages, select each
 image in turn and use Insert | 
 Picture... to replace it with the image
 you need there. The new image 
 will occupy the same space.
 
 I trust this helps.
