Inserting photo into document query
Hi,
Whenever i insert a photo into a document, the photo automatically goes from vertical to horizontal.
The photo is ok and as soon as I insert it into a file, it flips onto it’s side.
How do i fix this??

This is not general behaviour, of course. What sort of document are
you creating? If this is a text document, I don't think Writer even
*knows* how to rotate a picture.
>The photo is ok ...
How do you know it is "OK"? Whatever you see on a computer is only a
rendering of something, not the item itself. If you are viewing the
picture on your camera or in some associated application, is its
possible that the picture is always exported in one orientation
(portrait or landscape) but that your camera or application keeps a
record which enables it to display the picture appropriately? Or are
you just used to rotating your camera and expecting OpenOffice to
read your mind?
>How do i fix this?
Take your pick:
o Rotate the picture before you insert it - using either your camera
or its associated software or other graphic processing software.
o Paste the picture instead into a drawing (OpenOffice Draw)
document. Go to Format | Position and Size... | Rotation (or
right-click | Position and Size... | Rotation, or press F4). Under
"Rotation angle", set Angle to 90 (or perhaps 270) degrees. Copy and
paste the result into your text document.

How did you "try" this? If you had genuinely rotated a graphic, the
result would surely have been different. How are you viewing the
rotated photo - again in your camera or its software?

See above.
I trust this helps.

Hi Julian,
First thing i tried. That doesn't work either. I tried the 'flip" option but
that only gives me a mirror image from the opposite angle. It doesn't turn
the image from horizontal to vertical.

Try rotating it before inserting it into the file. There should be a better
way! (but I can't discover it in the menus or the help:-(

Did you see this dialogue
"This image is rotated. Would you like to rotate it into standard
orientation?" If declined then right-clicking the selected image will
reveal a "rotate" option.

Brian, see above, but the "knowing" is with the operator in LO 5.1.2. :-)
