A question

[Dean Bauwens <Ba...@hotmail.com>]

Dear Sir,
Dear Madam,

This morning I had some difficulties with Openoffice.

Why not provide a rotary knob for photos in a writing
When you want to add an image in a text, openoffice always placed it in the length (horizontal).
Are photos mathematically constructed with values?
Could you explain why I had to put this in a table first.

Yours Sincerely,
Dean Bauwens

A photo can be placed wherever you want to do so the way you want to do 
it. However, this requires the knowledge of styles. This has been ever 
since OOo.org 1.0. The Writer Guide contains a chapter on styles. The 
Writer chapter in the Getting Started Guide does also. One of these two 
guides also contains a second chapter on styles. Search for these books, 
download them, and study these chapters. You should have no problems 
afterwards.

You have written this email to a mailing list, and I among a vast number 
of people have read it. I have sent you a CC so you would see what I 
have written also to this mailing list. Please, if you have more 
questions about Open Office, email them to the mailing list and not to 
any of the people who also reply to your question.

Hi,

when inserting a photo into a Writer document then mostly the photo 
dimensions are bigger than the width of the page.
You can select the photo and resize the photo (or any other graphical 
object) symetrically by pressing Shift+Strg and then selecting one of 
the handles which you can see when you mouse select the photo first an 
then drag the size to the size needed.

You can place a photo whereever you want by changing the anchor of that 
object to 'page'. Select the photo then take look into the frame object 
bar. There's an anchor symbol. By pressing this button a little menu 
pops up where you can select 'page'

Hope it helps...

Kind regards, Joost
