Re: [tdf-discuss] Two simple writer annoyances
Ian , No , we can not rotate a picture in LO , but LO is not our favorite application to handle our pictures and graphics. LO is build to produce documents, pictures are taken by camera and for correcting and rotating this pictures we can uses hundreds off different and specialised free and open) Applications. BTW: use the wrap and contours to let flow text around irregular shaped objects in LO Greetz Fernand On 29 April 2011 07:28, Krabina Bernhardkrab...@kdz.or.at wrote: Hi, I think there are two annoyances in writer that should not be that hard to fix.

But you could say you could prepare text in a text editor and just import it so no need for text tools. All I was pointing out was that I used a document processor over 20 years ago that could rotate, pan, scale, crop graphics etc in situation. All of those things are useful to be able to do without having to go back to a different application. Granted, it's not a big issue for me, just an observation.

I think the point being made here is that 20 years ago, a desktop publishing suite could rotate graphics and that you would imagine, with 20 years of development, the rotation of graphics would be achievable in a wordprocessing suite. I tend to agree, if we are going to have any useful base line manipulation of graphics in LibreOffice, the rotation of graphics should be one of these abilities. This could also be a way of having our wordprocessing suite distinguishing itself from any other suites. This ability could be well suggested as a feature request on bugzilla. We have many talented devs who may want to pick up this challenge.

Re: [tdf-discuss] Two simple writer annoyances
Yes, it is build to produce Dokuments and because of that I need to rotate a picture. I work in a bank. We have restrictions on the installed programms. I am not allowed to install any application that can rotate pictures. I have to create our formulars/documents. Each of them has a barcode. I get the barcodes horizontally but need them vertically in the formulars/dokuments. In MS word I can rotate them, in LO (wich is allowed in our bank and also the software we shall use over Word) not, so I can't use LO but have to use Word. So,a big yes. I need that function, too.
