Bug ID: 154263
Summary: There is no way to anchor an image to the frame of the
first label in a MAILMERGE sheet and synchronize it
across all labels
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.1.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: j...@kamens.us
Description:
Note: This is about 7.5.2.1 but that isn't a choice in the version list.
You should be able to anchor an inserted image to an absolute position within
the first label in a synchronized labels document and have that image
synchronize to the same position in all of the other labels when you click the
"Synchronize Labels" button.
If you anchor it to the page, it doesn't synchronize. If you anchor it to the
frame, it doesn't synchronize. It synchronize if you anchor it to the paragraph
or character or as a character, but then it floats with the text, which is no
good if you want it to have an absolute position within each label regardless
of the text.
This is especially important if you're formatting labels with mail merge
fields, because in that case the mail merge field names may be so long that
they flow over multiple lines when the data inserted into the actual labels
won't, so you literally can't see where the image is actually going to end up
in the labels if you anchor it to text after the field names.
I suppose theoretically you could anchor it to the very beginning of the text,
maybe, as a workaround? But you really should be able to do an absolute
position anchor on the label.
