Bug ID: 152437
Summary: Align & Distribute multiple inserted images within a
Writer document
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.3.2 release
Hardware: ARM
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Forgive me if this has been mentioned elsewhere. Of course it could be because
I am a newby to LibreOffice, but IMHO the one thing that would improve
LibreOffice Writer, especially when dealing with multiple images placed in to a
Writer document, would be the ability to select all the placed images and then
use the align and distribute functions! Unfortunately, there does not seem to
be anyway to select multiple inserted images within a Writer page or document.
The only way I was able to complete the said task was to place the images in to
a Drawing Document, select them all, then use the align and distribute
function. I then grouped the images and copied and pasted them into my Writer
document. This is such a basic function used by many people writing reports,
that it is either a bug or a gaping omission! If Libre Office Draw has this
capability please make it so in LibreOffice Writer.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert multiple images in to a writer document
2.Try to select multiple images using Shift key/ or Command key by a click on
each image
3. Failed to select multiple images >>>> Resort to using LibreOffice Draw to do
the required task
4. Copy aligned and distributed images from Draw
5. Paste in to Writer document.
Actual Results:
As above
Expected Results:
My workaround works but it should be a basic function available in Writer.
It should have the same facilities as many other word processing applications
such as MS word, Pages etc
Give the user the ability to align and distribute inserted images (multiple
images on the same page or a whole document) within a Writer document without
having to jump through hoops!
Reproducible: Always
