Somebody else mentioned that too, but ... in my version (7.6.6.3) I can not see any check box marked "link". There is a Hyperlink tab, but except for 3 fields on top, the bottom half of the box is just a plain white area. And yes, I came to the conclusion to have the images in a dedicated folder. That I did for some time already. Apparently now I have to figure out something elegant to move the set of writer file+image folder around my computers. I will report when I found something. And when I find out, whether the ePublishers are satisfied with the results.

However, I remember clearly having given every image a name and save the file (every few minutes) in my office, but when I opened the file at home, ALL these names and descriptions are gone. Maybe I found the answer. The file I was working on and save in regular intervals is located on something like Dropbox - so that I can access it on my computers at home and in the office. Images are inserted using Ctrl+F5, retrieving the images from a folder holding all the relevant images. But the image folder is on my local hard drive, whereas the file I am working on is on a "net drive". So, maybe the writer file on the netdrive looks for the images, but cannot find them, since they are on the HDD. The images themselves DO display just fine. Do I need ONE folder containing both the writer file AND the image folder to move around? What happens when I am finally done and want to store the finished work on my HDDs? When you insert an image, the dialogue box where you select the image file has a small check box (bottom left) marked 'link'. If you want the image to be integrated permanently into your book text, this link box should NOT be checked. If you have linked your images (instead of importing them permanently), you can undo the links using Edit > links to external files > break The advantage of linking comes if the image is subject to future modification. In that case, when the image is modified, the document automatically displays the updated image. In any case, with a major work like a book, it is good practice and saves a lot of possible troubles, to keep all the images in a sub-folder of the book project. hth, Philip -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy

Linked images I would add in a subfolder of the Writer Document. So you could move the Writer document together with the subfolder to any other place and the links will work well (relative links). Regards Robert Well, I used Ctrl+F5. I do NOT recall setting any linksnor do I see any in the image dialog box. But, the writer file + all images are available regardless of whether I save the file on a net drive, HDD or USB stick. What is missing though, are all entries under "Name, Text Alternative + Description". But the ePub-lishers complain, when images have no name etc. "a subfolder of the Writer Document" - how does that work?
