I tried this question six weeks ago and got no answer, but with the
indulgence of the list I'd like to try it again, in the hope that
someone might have a new thought about it:
According to the OO documentation ("Working with Graphics"), any
picture inside a frame should have "To Frame" among its Anchor
options. In a document I wrote are ~30 pictures inside frames - but
only half of them have the "Anchor.. To Frame" option. After much
study, I'm still unable to see the difference between those that have
and those that do not have the option. Even pictures side by side
can be different. Can anyone tell me what to look for to normalize
this?
And - bonus question - since Writer believes that a picture with
caption is lost without a frame (and thus supplies one
automatically), why would the picture ever *not* be anchored to the
frame?

John:
Open the properties of the picture and in the first tab, "type', near
the bottom, check what the left horizontal position value is. I have
found ,in most cases, that if the value is 0 or negative (outside the
frame), the 'anchor to frame' option is missing. In cases where it
is zero or negative. and I still have the 'anchor to frame' option, if
I un-check the size options, 'relative' and/or 'ratio', this will
remove the 'anchor to frame' option. I hope I am clear on this.
Earlier, I tried sending a response to this from work using webmail,
but it seems to be lost in the 'ether'net zone, so if a near duplicate
of this message eventually shows up, my apologies.

Tom, if the list doesn't see your post as coming from [email protected]
it will be routed through the moderator (as if you were not subscribed),
and that introduces a delay of several hours or days. Glad to get this
explanation, it's good to know.
