My questions are always about how to permanently alter the default template to a useful standard. This is always difficult in LibreOffice Writer.
If we prefer not to use multiple templates, but would like one basic one for all writing, saving articles, etc. Potentially for the classroom, to save a lot of texts from magazine/ blog/ journal websites. (During years of MS Office use it had become quite simple to copy the selected text and photographs and drop them into a document, making minor adjustments if necessary.)
With LibreOffice Writer, I cannot yet do this; to force a document to keep images inside the text boundaries and not overlap the margins or the text below it, or the header. To decipher all the parameters in the dialogue boxes to achieve this. [Ex: I follow the manual instructions, and end up with an image that is inside the text boundaries (at last!) but elongated. Undo, start again. For each of three or four images, it becomes very time-consuming.]
((Even the multiple predetermined fonts the software forces for a multitude of categories is dizzying. If I want the title in a larger, bolder font, that would be quite simple to do for myself, rather than having to alter the categories of every font style to my desired standard, one by one, in every document. It is a ton of work to undo all the software settings, and to not find them set as I want them when I return to the default template again))
Hoping to find a simple method to set all photos to paste automatically this way, with occasional adjustments to be made, rather than wrestling with every image, sometimes multiple images that ought to be handled in the same standard way. And to do this in a blank template document, prior to any images being inserted.
(Trying very hard to learn! But terribly nervous that with a school year coming, I may be forced to try to reacquire the dreaded MSOffice unless I can have a usable, easy-to-work-with template.)
Thanks VERY much in advance for any help you can provide.
