Will do. I just had to remember to leave the "line" where the "≈≈≈" is. [that is not on my keyboard so I had to look it up in the older posting] Then use a wrap through for the graphic image to keep the page/line formatting correct. OK, I used this image https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/File:Lines-blgr1_draft_k-j.png in place of my "simple line" and it prints out fine on both my monochrome laser and my Canon inkjet. I like that image over the "blgr2" version.

Re: [libreoffice-design] Need a small graphic for the General Information brochure
Whatever graphic will be included, remember is will be printed out at 300 or 600 DPI - most home office color printers - and be maybe an inch or 2.5 cm long. That leaves out a lot of the listings below that look great in larger scales. This brochure need to be printed out on home office systems - inkjet and laser [color and monochrome]. So real complex images shrunk down to fit the needed size and placement may not work well at all. Scrolling or swirling works fine for most ideas I used. We just have to make sure of the size and placement, while keeping the text formatting in its desired placement on the pages.

My 0,2 cts from a non-professional designer: - The cover page is too black. Why don't you use the same colour as in the circle? For me it has a hard breaking white text. - The cover background colour (black) should expand over the whole page and should not have a white "Trauerrand". - Is it possible to print a professional brochure in high quality with an .odt (300dpi) or do we need a DTP-file? - The whole thing is, as I told many times, breaking any branding rules. So if we use it, we should change the branding rules to make it official. - And IMHO the 4.0-greens (either this in the half circle or in the splashscreen) don't look good with any of our branding greens and so especially the community brochure [1] have a substantial problem by using the official logo with the LibO-green and the 4.0-splashgreen. The last two points are (my personal opinion) "mistakes" of the marketing/website team and! the design team. And we all will get more and more problems with it if we don't solve it.

As it should be a professional and official brochure anyone should ask a professional designer what he thinks about it.
