Hi :) Two possibilities spring to mind but i'm not sure how valid they are.
1. I think the layer of the images can be 'moved' forwards and back so. If the larger image gets selected then find the Graphics/frames toolbar. At the end is an anchor but just before that are 2 icons for moving the frame backwards and forwards. Move the larger image to the back and then it should be easy to select the smaller image. After doing whatever modifications you required then you might need to move the smaller image further back. 2. If you think the smaller image might be a png or gif (very common & good formats) then try clicking on a part of the smaller image that is coloured differently from the image behind it. This is the easiest thing to try but least likely imo. 3. Are there really 2 separate images? Could it be 1 single image with an extra layer embedded in the image? Can you try opening the image in Gimp or PhotoShop or something like that? Gimp is free and OpenSource but again i think this is unlikely to be the right answer. Good luck and regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Jacob Valdez <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 16 February, 2011 13:31:38 Subject: [libreoffice-users] How to select a small image placed on a large image? XP SP3 LibreOffice 3.30 App: Writer I have read WriterGuideOOo.pdf, looked through the LO wiki and the OOo forums--what is the trick to select a small image which has been placed on top of a larger image? I point at the small image and click on it so I can re-position, re-size, or whatever, but the larger image behind the one I want to select is always selected instead of the foreground image. I am doing this in Writer. There is a convenient one-click way to do this, isn't there?
