When I insert an image into a Write document, it does not show the image I inserted. Instead, it shows a large box with the word Image in the upper left corner. If I go to Properties/Image, I can see the image that I inserted, so I know it’s there. How do I make it actually show in the document, instead of just showing a placeholder?
This is part of Writer configuration to improve performance when numerous images are present in a document and you don’t really need to see them.
Depending on LO version (which you didn’t mention nor your OS name – this is important because there are differences between versions and platforms), the configuration setting is found in two locations:
-
(always)
Tools|Options,LibreOffice Writer|View, Display section, Images & objects check box -
(since version 7.x) menu
View|Images & Charts
Tick the checkbox to display images.
