I wonder: 1. Is the number of pictures the problem? Or was there some way in which the program was trying to do the impossible -- for instance, keeping a picture in a position that was too small for it? 2. Could the anchor position have an effect? 3. What if the picture was placed inside a frame, and the frame size and position protected? I'm going to see what results I get in answering these questions. I'll post my results, probably by tomorrow evening. -- Bruce Byfield 604-421-7189 (on Pacific time) blog: https://brucebyfield.wordpress.com website: http://members.axion.net/~bbyfield/ -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
