Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!
Hi :) The 3.4.1 is development branch for 'early adopters' and has some advanced features but also has oddities and maybe even regressions. It's a bit like seeing a play or a movie on the opening night or in the first week. I suspect that the 3.4.2 will be much the same. The 3.3.3 is the latest release of the stable branch and supported for a year apparently although it's not clear exactly what that means. A bit like watching a football match after everyone has told you all about the highlights and who won. It lacks some of the newer features but it's less quirky, less surprises. Anyone with the 3.4.1 is probably well advised to install the 3.3.3 alongside for when they need reliability but it's not easy so this guide should help with that. http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Regards from Tom :) From: Tony Royston To: "users@global.libreoffice.org" Sent: Fri, 22 July, 2011 15:05:31 Subject: RE: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!

Partially disappearing pics happens with the current version on OpenSuSE 11.4 saving in ODT. No docx or doc needed.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!
Tony Some in-bedded pictures are more in-bedded than others, when this happens I blow the picture up as big as I can, then use "screen print", paste into my Picture editor (Paint Shop Pro), crop my desktop to just the picture and save as a .jpg or just copy & paste into the word text box - simples. It may seem complex, but its very quick and of course it does help if you have 2 monitors. regards John On 22/07/2011 15:03, Tony Royston wrote: Andrew, Thanks for your reply.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!
Hi :) I think the DocX format throws images around to some very strange places and often stacked on top of each nearly off the page. I think the text frame blocks them from moving far and could be left visible to provide a nice frame. Personally i think sticking to Odt or Doc or even Pdf formats would be easier. Pdf can't be edited by many people but does have the advantage of looking exactly the same on every machine. I think the problem is not so severe when there are only 1 or 2 pictures in the entire document which suggests that using Draw might be better as it a much larger number of embedded images more easily, but of course that might mean using an Open Document Format or a picture format or Pdf rather than DocX.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!
Hi again :) The 3.4.1 is development branch for early adopters it might be worth installing the stable 3.3.3 alongside but it's not easy. This guide might help http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel It might be a good idea to post a bug-report about it but there are probably already quite a few. This guide might help http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport If you right-click on one of the pictures you can change it's "anchor point" to about 6 different types, such as "as character" or "to page". MS Office doesn't have all those options. With some of the options you get a lot of flexibility on placing the picture. More flexibility than you can get with Word. Also the wrapping options seem to behave slightly differently. With DocX i've found the pictures often get thrown off to one side and piled on top of each other so that the ones underneath are not obvious. It's usually fine if there are only 1 or 2 pictures on a page but around 6 images seems to get troublesome. There doesn't seem to be any trouble if i stick with Odt and not much problem with Doc either but i am thinking about switching to using Draw rather than Word or Writer when i need a lot of images on a single page again. If you want other people to see the page exactly the way you want it to look then it's best to export to Pdf but it's not much good if you want them to be able to edit it. Often a good answer is to send a pdf version and an editable format alongside so that people can see what you were aiming for. It might be good to give them a link to download and install LibreOffice as people often do with Adobe Acrobat when sharing Pdfs.

Hi everyone, I have a Writer question. I am using 3.4.1 on Vista, and I successfully opened a docx file containing text and photos. I did some minor text editing, then saved the document with a new filename but still as a docx. When I opened that file, the images had disappeared! Any ideas? It's not a disaster as I still have the original document, but I would like to be able to save images with docx!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer images disappeared!
Hi :) Can you try saving as Doc instead of DocX? The older format often produces much better results.
