I have paper 8.5x11, landscape, divided into two columns.
Each column will have a frame, with a photo insert, in the bottom half.
After I fold it over, it will make a card, with the picture on the front.
I'll slice down center and make two cards.
I've had help with this before which I appreciate, but I still can't get
the picture in the center.
At first I was using a vertical line to divide the page visually but
the frame/photo never is centered correctly. So I thought of using
columns.
I thought it was skewing off because of the margins, so I have set all
margins to zero.
Other than eyeballing it (looks right on monitor, prints off center) is
there any way to center the frame in the column?
Frames each 4.75" wide, 3.65" high.
Using OO 3.0
Thank you for all the good help.
Maybe I'm missing something. But if I
* make a landscape page with equal L and R margins
* create two columns, with a gutter of twice the margin
* insert a manual column break
* insert pictures in L and R columns and centre them (R-click,
Alignment, Centred)
it all looks OK to me. Of course, the vertical placement still needs doing.
Any particular reason BTW you want a frame with a photo insert, rather
than just inserting the image directly? You still get a bounding box
plus margin if you want them.
Don't forget there's a position dialogue box to allow you to position
items accurately. Although if you want more elaborate positioning,
possibly Draw is the better bet than Writer - in particular Writer won't
allow you to select multiple objects so you can't align or space things
so readily.
