If you have LibO on your computer, why don't you use then Draw to rotate the barcode? Sure, it is more convenient to have that feature in Writer, but Draw is the specialised component for drawings and it has a lot more functions and capabilities, that you could ever built into a text processing component. Good point. I'm probably just out of the habit of using Draw because I find Inkscape better for me in many ways. On the other hand, being able to right click on an image and rotate it situ is a bit more elegant than having to OLE to Draw just for a simple change in position, size or orientation. Personally I think you should be able to adjust size and position in situ and just go to Draw if you need to edit. Just seems better ergonomics. The case of the barcode shows that going to Draw is probably not intutitive for most users and that is also quite an important consideration.

Why can't writer have image descriptions ABOVE the image as well? It can do it with tables, but with images, image captions have to be below the image... 2. Why can't writer have the possibility to rotate an image... regards, Berhard Hello Berhard You can flip upside-down a picture in writer if this can bring some help : left-flick the picture, tab picture, check flip Vertically and Horizontally.

Alex Hi Alex. Have you considered the use of a barcode font ? Your IT department should be less twitchy about deploying a font than a full fledged graphic editing program. You could then add a barcode style in your doc with 90 or 270 degrees rotation.

Does TDF *want* to use an Oracle resource? I think Drew has already explained this on multiple mailing lists, anyway: the forums at http://user.services.openoffice.org/ are run by community members and not by Oracle, they explicitly include LibreOffice among the supported software (see page header), they can be used with no need for permissions from Oracle, and they are probably the best place where LibreOffice users can get support if they don't like mailing lists. Regards, Andrea. Sorry, but I'd have to disagree... http://openoffice.org/terms_of_use The resources are owned and operated by Oracle. Whilst http://user.services.openoffice.org may (currently) tolerate LO posts, certainly LO/TDF should prefer to not continue to send users/prospective users to OOo properties for support and answers regarding LO. Doing so is akin to having OOo send users/prospective users to the LO users list for support. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
