If you've done much work positioning graphics in text, then you know how
difficult it can be to make sure that the graphics stay in place. In the past,
many experts have come up with recommendations about the best settings to use,
but these suggestions either don't work if you try to export to another format
or else have been made obsolete by changes to the program over the year.
In preparation for my upcoming book on OpenOffice/LibreOffice, I'm hoping to
solve
this problem once and for all. Could anyone who is interested reproduce the
two methods below, then try to break them by copying and pasting, adding text
around the graphics, and anything else you can think of? I would be very
interested in hearing results, especially on platforms other than Linux.
I almost always anchor the picture AS a character on a line by itself
with a specific character style that should keep it with the next
paragraph, a manually inserted caption. You can see this in any of my
macro documents. AndrewMacro and OOME are both very long with numerous
images and they have no problems.
Years ago I had my images inside of frames, but, I found a very nasty
bug that caused OOo to crash based on a certain set of conditions. I
manually edited the XML in a text editor to remove the problem so that I
could keep the document. I do believe that bug was fixed by Sun :-)
