In positioning images, one of the biggest problems is to get the images stay where you want them. An inline image is treated as a character in a paragraph, and will therefore only move along with the paragraph. A floating image can be dragged anywhere and the text will wrap around it. Although it is floating, it is always tied to an object anchor, usually a paragraph.So, they frequently move out of position as you add or delete text before and after them.
Floating Images are those that are placed on a layer over the text. When you set an image text wrapping to be in front of the text, the image appears on top of any text, and you can move it to any position you want. As you drag the image, the anchor will move and will connect itself to another paragraph.
You can fix an image in a specific position on a page using presets or use custom positions like absolute/relative positions to a page, margins, column or a line.
The positioning of image is often rather time-consuming or may be very frustrating for both inexperienced and experienced users. Writer provides some powerful built-in positioning and wrapping options that can make your life easier.
Click on the image to be positioned and click on ‘Positioning → Custom’ to get few quick placement options for your images.
Presets help you to align the image in the middle of the document or on the top, bottom, left and right with respect to the margin, page, column or line with a click.
Custom positioning helps in advanced placement of images like placing them at a certain distance away from the margin or page.
Click on the image, Image tab → ‘Positioning -> Custom Edit’ to bring the properties to be set for custom placement of images.
Horizontal option aligns the left or right edge of the selected image based on the anchor object chosen from the supported anchor elements like page, column, character or margins.
Vertical options aligns the top or bottom edge of the selected image based on the anchor object chosen from the supported anchor elements like page, paragraph or margins.
Floating images have “anchors”. If an image’s anchor is removed or hidden, the image will also be removed or hidden. Floating images are always placed in relation to an anchoring object like column, page margin etc.
For horizontal positioning, the possible values are:
For vertical positioning, the possible values are:
Choosing “Absolute position” means your image will stay in that exact position no matter what other formatting or text you might change.
A “Relative position” means your image will be placed relative to a part of the document’s structure. Here, if that part of the document moves, your image moves with it and stays in the same relative position.
Specify an image location using its x and y coordinates. Enter x and y values in the 'Position' fields.
->The x value is measured from the left edge of the image to the anchor’s upper-left corner.
-> The y value is measured from the top edge of the image to the anchor’s upper-left corner.
