Hi, everyone! I'm new here. I have a feedback to offer, and I was told this is the place to do it.
In my day job as an engineer, I currently use Microsoft Word to write technical documentation which includes screenshot images. I'd like to break the Word habit. I understand that when creating publications like newsletters, some people may need to place graphics in a particular spot on the page and have text flow around it. However, I think most business and casual users -- and certainly someone like myself who produces technical documentation -- need to have the graphics flow along with the text. In other words, we need the graphics to be anchored as a character. I know LibreOffice can do this, but it is not the default behavior, and to fix it after inserting a picture involves a lot of work: The initial paste is almost guaranteed to put the anchor in the wrong place, and even after moving it, you typically have to go into the Picture dialog box to fix Position attributes. Microsoft Word and the Macintosh word processors I'm familiar with insert pictures anchored as a character by default. Though many other things are disastrously wrong with Microsoft Word, I have to admit that they do picture insertion just right. With LibreOffice, adding a screenshot is quite a frustrating battle for me. If "Insert Pictures Anchored as Characters" were only an option turned ON by default, LibreOffice would be much more usable for me, and I suspect many others, at work. -- Charles .
