Or stop placing graphics in frames
AFAIK, OOo places all graphics in frames. I don't think it is
possible to change this, though one can change the frame style or the
characteristics of the default Graphics frame style. It's similar to
pages: every page has a style.
We can choose to stop using the second frame -- the one that encloses
the caption and the graphic. I suspect that's what you meant.
I have no problem converting a frame enclosing a picture/caption.from
OOo to MSO Professional 2007, or do I? It looks fine in MSO, but I
might have to go back into OOo in order to edit it with my scant
knowledge of MSO. I can select the picture in MSO but cannot seem to
do anything with its caption--not even select it. I guess that I will
have to work with MSO more and find out why.
The frame is anchored to a paragraph and the picture is anchored as a
character.
Good thing that things are getting better.
The only advantage you gain by placing the image in the same frame as
the caption is that you can then float the image and the caption
together. This is a HUGE advantage if you want to flow text around your
figures, and in fact, the only way I know to do it. I do not float my
images in my usual writing and it takes me longer to insert them into
the same frame.
After OOo for a while, it is difficult for me to do some things in Word.
