Sir,
I looked up your information.
But this morning when I added a pdf photo it was put horizontally on a 
vertical sheet and vetically on a horizontal sheet.


So I placed my title first and then the photo in a table below.
The writer didn't do this well with ODF photos either.

So view options, grid, ...can you explain to me exactly what you have to 
tick to make sure that a photo adapts to the sheet and where I don't 
have to use a table.



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.

Martin,

The purpose of my question is this: I am working on the next edition of 
my two-language dictionary and want to be able to see two views of the 
same document. This is very important since in one of the views I can 
enter text, whereas in the other view I can do independent searches. In 
MS Word, it was a trivial matter to split the screen vertically into an 
upper and a lower section.


Your suggestion of selecting New Window works like a charm! As a matter 
of fact, it’s an even better solution than splitting the screen since it 
gives me the scope of seeing two full versions of the same document. I 
couldn’t ask for anything more than that!


Thank you very much for your email.

Steve

Dear Tech Support,

I am a new user of OpenOffice, having become increasing frustrated 
with Microsoft Word (for the Mac) over the years. As such, I am still 
very much in the learning stage but what I’ve seen so far of your 
program I like very much. One thing I haven’t been able to work out, 
though, assuming it exists in OpenOffice, is how to do a split screen 
in the text processor.



I don't know what the purpose of your question is, but if for example to 
have one part
displaying page 1 and in the other part editing page 20 that could be 
achieved by:


In the open writer document go to Windows in the top menu and select New 
Window now
you have two windows of the same document and are able to scroll on both 
windows to

two different pages in the same document.


I would’ve expected to find this in the “View” menu or on the vertical 
scroll bar, but haven’t found it. Am I looking for something that 
isn’t there or is there a way to split the screen when entering text 
into a document? TIA.


Regards,

Steve Marder
