Preliminary experiments show thst this could be just what i need, but im having one msjor difficulty. Is it possible to replace an image within s group without ungrouping first? I try selecting the image in the group, right click and replace - which *seems* to do what i want.... until i try to move e group. Ths shows me thatt what has actually happened is that the replacement image has been inserted in the same screen position but is not psrt of the group, it just overlays the image in the group, which remains the same. Am i doing something wrong? Or does it not work in the way i thought it would?

How do i >go about this? You can do this - by anchoring the frames in a header or footer. Note that the frames themselves do not need to be physically at the top or bottom of the page to achieve this: they can appear anywhere, as long as the anchors are in the header or footer. Unfortunately, this means that the contents of your frames will also be identical on each page - which is clearly not what you want. >As an aside i want to use the frames to help arrange a multitude of >smallish images which must be aligned in rows and _stay_ that way.

I suspect this problem cries out for using a drawing (Draw) document, not a text (Writer) one. o Set up a single page with your images for that page. o Select the page in the Pages panel. o Copy. o Paste the page - with identical images - as necessary. o In subsequent pages, select each image in turn and use Insert | Picture... to replace it with the image you need there. The new image will occupy the same space. I trust this helps.
