While other tools may be used for this it should be quite possible to
achieve the same result with LibreOffice writer. Which suggests that a bug

Yes, but the 1 program/suite approach is convenient when you have to do
something only once a year or even less often and are able to do so with
fairly familiar tools, or at least with familiar support (such as this

I'd be happy to file a bug report, but I'm hoping to find out a bit more the
situation before I do. This delay is partly selfish, because my personal need
is to find a workaround, but I'm hoping it will also help correct the problem
if I can give some details.

Your post is very timely. I've been wrestling with a document containing
15 photographs with captions. I wanted to insert them into the text with
text wrapping around the pictures. I made numerous attempts and often
found myself trying to move or resize a picture just a little bit.

Okay, Bruce, I just tried method 1 using LO 4.1.5.3 on Windows 7. I
inserted about 11 pictures. I then resized them using a Frame Style I
had previously set up. I then moved them into position where I wanted
them and, once in place, I protected both their positions and size using

I didn't think it could be so easy.
I suspect that the second method may be more reliable. Frames seem to be wonky
in the latest releases, but tables seem to have fewer problems.
