You'll have to look at each picture, and see what it is anchored to,
and how it is anchored to whatever it is anchored to.
The odds are that they are anchored as you described, but the
discongruency is between what you requested, and what you expected.
Well, yes, that *is* the problem, isn't it? - though it's rather a
"discongruency" between what I requested (and what OO reports to be the
case) and what actually happens on the page. But to say that does not
illuminate the problem; it's merely another way of describing the
problem. When the original post said,
Pictures that are supposedly anchored to a paragraph wind up on the next page...
that was not merely an expectation; that was after looking (as you
describe) at each picture and confirming that the anchor was as I had
thought. That's why the question was:
How should I go about finding the hidden constraints causing the pictures to be removed
from their text (or is it vice versa)? For example: with WordPerfect one can
"Reveal Codes" to solve such problems. What is the method with OO?
IOW, I asked that question with some forethought, after examining what
seemed to be every part of the outside of the black box that is the
document construction. I was looking for a way [maybe even an external
tool, though I expect it should be part of the application] to see into
the formatting to expose those hidden constraints. Is there anything?
I want to use and support OO, but am constantly alarmed at how much time
is wasted over apparent glitches in what seem to be routine formatting
tasks.
