Working with Images & Drawing Objects

Inserting images into Writer (Insert menu, Drag-and-Drop, Copy-Paste, Linking), Image Toolbar modifications (crop, resize, filters, graphics mode, transparency), Drawing Toolbar objects, grouping, alignment, anchoring, and text wrapping options.

Quick Key Takeaways:
Image Insertion & Linking: Insert via Insert → Image. Unchecked 'Link' embeds image file directly into the document, increasing file size; checking 'Link' references external path.
Arrangement & Wrapping: Four Anchoring modes (To Page, To Paragraph, To Character, As Character) and Text Wrapping (Wrap Off, Page Wrap, Optimal Page Wrap, Wrap Through).

Inserting & Modifying Images

Image Toolbar

Tools to insert, edit, crop, and filter raster graphics and photos in LibreOffice Writer.

• Insertion Methods
1. Insert → Image...; 2. Drag and drop from file manager; 3. Copy-Paste from clipboard; 4. Insert image by linking (creates reference without bloating document size).
• Image Toolbar Tools
Graphics Mode (Default, Grayscale, Black/White, Watermark), Transparency percentage slider, Color adjustments (RGB, Brightness, Contrast, Gamma), Flip Horizontally/Vertically, and Filters (Invert, Smooth, Sharpen, Solarization, Aging, Posterize).
• Cropping Images
Right-click image → Properties → Crop tab. Options: 'Keep scale' (crops without resizing image dimensions) vs 'Keep image size' (scales remaining image area to original dimensions).

Drawing Objects, Anchoring & Text Wrapping

Layout Rules

Handling vector shapes, grouping, layering, and dynamic positioning relative to surrounding text.

• Drawing Toolbar
Enable via View → Toolbars → Drawing. Insert lines, arrows, rectangles, ellipses, callouts, and stars.
• Grouping Objects
Select multiple drawing objects (Shift + Click each object) → Right-click → Group → Group (combines objects into a single moveable entity). Right-click → Ungroup to separate.
• Anchoring Options
Determines object reference point: 1. To Page (fixed on page); 2. To Paragraph (moves with paragraph); 3. To Character (anchored to character); 4. As Character (treated as an inline character affecting line height).
• Text Wrapping Options
1. Wrap Off (text above and below, none on sides); 2. Page Wrap (text flows around all sides); 3. Optimal Page Wrap (text flows on whichever side has >2cm margin space); 4. Wrap Through (image superimposes in front or behind text).
