Re: [libreoffice-users] Image Anchor Selection

2023-06-15 Thread rmm unidot . com
Let me comment a little further. Whether to anchor to page or to text 
really depends on the intended result. At one point I put out a regular 
newsletter of 3-4 pages for a local art club. As you can easily imagine, 
the pictures were far more important than the text. The layout was 
accordingly started by laying out the images, and the text was written 
to accommodate the images. This situation may not arise as often for 
most users of LibreOffice Writer as other situations, but is not to be 
ignored or even "deprecated."

Hi,

since you seem to know Writer well, it should be possible to meet your 
requirements.
Basically, however, for a short newsletter (1-2 pages) Draw would be the 
better choice. But everyone as he can and likes.

You don't have to worry about flying insects. The problem you described, 
have many users and hopefully they have read along.

I wish you much success!

While other software tools would perhaps be better suited to this

forced to jump to the back when I want it to remain on the front.


I hope this explains my reasons for using "To page" as an anchor. It

Dear Joe Conner and @all,

You mentioned that the menu item anchoring "To page" is no longer 
available.


Unfortunately you did not mention in which cases you need this function.

Here I'd like to review  @Robert Großkopf, quote, "Note: It may have 
been omitted because anchoring to a page means it's fixed to a page 
like in old layout days and will cause problems in master documents." 
But not just in master documents.


But the question should be what is the anchoring to the page supposed 
to achieve.
IMHO it seems only reasonable, e.g. in a book the first page should be 
designed with a picture.
Or one wants to insert full page images on several pages, e.g. at the 
beginning of chapters.
Of course I don't know the application of other users, but here 
examples would be helpful.


When anchoring images to the page, keep in mind that they can no 
longer "wander" to other pages.
So if you have an image anchored to page 5, you can insert or remove 
as much text as you want in front of that page,

but the image will remain fixed to page 5.
This can even mean that if you remove a lot of text in front of it, 
you'll only have 4 pages left, for example,
but the image will still be anchored to page 5 and will probably just 
disappear.


Many users are mostly not aware of this function so in detail and you 
have a completely different idea of how it should work.
Since the function anchoring "To Page" was very often misinterpreted 
in the past, it was probably decided not to offer this menu item 
directly.
The anchoring "To Page" function is now only available in the 
Styles/Frame Styles.


How do I achieve anchoring "To Page" in the easiest and quickest way 
possible?
I just mentioned the Frame Styles, which should now be dealt with more 
intensively.

LibreOffice Writer has, so to speak, predefined processes for images.
Every image inserted into Writer is associated or assigned to the 
"Graphics" Frame Style (yes, Frame Style).


The, I'll call it special, feature of images is the caption of the same.
So if you want to add a caption to an image, a frame is inserted 
around the image.

As known, the caption can be above or below the image.
The frame around the image is again assigned to the Frame Style "Frame".

In the following we assume that no caption is added to the image.
This means that the Frame Style "Graphics" is relevant for the image.
Now, in order to achieve a quick, even immediate, anchoring of an 
image to the page, we need to adjust the "Graphics" Frame Style.


Here's how to do it:

Open Writer with a blank document. Modify the "Graphics" Frame Style 
by setting the anchoring to "To page" in the Frame Style and save it 
by clicking OK.
Now save the document as a Template, possibly with the check mark for 
"Set as default template".


If you now open the Template, you will get the document "Untitled 1".
Now insert an image. This image is now automatically anchored to the 
page, because it is assigned to the changed Frame Style "Graphics".
Finally, I would like to point out that this procedure will only lead 
to a good and desired result in special cases.


The most common anchors will probably be the variants offered in the 
context menu (not on the page).
On this page you will find further descriptions about anchoring and 
positioning of images:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Videos/Insert_and_edit_images_in_Writer_Part_1 



I personally wouldn't consider the missing selection in the context 
menu for anchoring "To page" as a bug.


I hope I have been able to help a little to understand the processes 
involved in anchoring images.

Might it be a good idea, when this is done, to leave the original menu

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Image Anchor Selection

[You don't often get email from conner...@comcast.net. Learn why this is 
important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification ]

Libreoffice 7.5.3.2 (X86_64) on  Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

In some prior editions of LibreOffice when using Writer I had the option
to anchor an image TO PAGE. Now my only choices that appear in the
context menu are TO PARAGRAPH, TO CHARACTER, or AS CHARACTER.

How can I get the TO PAGE choice to become available?

By dropping choices from a context menu seems to me to be a regression
of functionality.

Should I file a bug report?

Thank you. Joe Conner

By dropping choices from a context menu seems to me to be a regression
of functionality.

If you right-click on the image, then choose "properties", you will find
what you are searching in the "position and dimension" tab.


This procedure works for me. Thank you for suggesting it.

Best regards, Joe

File a bug for this.

And: open Tools → Customize → Context Menus.
There is missing the context menu for "Anchor" - don't know how it 
appears.

Add "Anchor to Page" from the available commands.

Note: Might be it has been dropped because anchor to page means it is 
fixed like in old layout times on a page and will get troubles in 
master documents.

Nice try, but no joy. It seems like Context Menus has also been deleted 
from Tools --> Customize as well. This was a good learning experience 
for me as I had never explored this area before.


Best regards, Joe

Select the image or the frame containing the image, right click on it, 
select Properties in the menu then  Anchor to page in the dialog window.

If you right-click on the image, then choose "properties", you will find
