Hello List,
For years with OpenOffice I was able to use a document as template to
print my photos on 8 1/2"x11" photo paper by reloading the document
and simply replacing the images.
I think it was UBuntu version 11 that changed me over to
LibreOffice. I have found that my documents seem to load and print
just fine as they were originally saved. But I have not been able to
locate a method to replace the graphic images in a document, either
by the top menu or by right clicking the image.
The only way I have found is to delete the image and then insert the
new image from scratch! This is most difficult for precise image
size and placement. I use a standard aspect on my camera (3:2) and
have the image size for all four photos exactly the same. They are
also positioned to allow just a barely visible white line between the
photos for cutting. And the margins are set to be allowed on my
printer without the images being cropped off.
To duplicate all these settings on every image is way too time
consuming. I need to be able to simply change the image in the four
graphic entities without effecting size, placement or aspect ratio of
the original image.
Anybody have any suggestions that I might try to replace the images
of a document?
Thank you,
James
Have you tried to insert a frame, and then put your photo into it?

Thank you for the suggestion. No, I had not attempted to use a frame.
I just spent a few minutes with frames. But it came down to the same
problem, I was unable to replace the image inside of the frame. Also,
when I attempted to size the image to the frame, the frame size just
self adjusted to allow for the image. So I did not see where it made
any improvement in the delete and replace option if the frames adjust to
any changes.
Thanks,
James
