Hi , someone can help me to make a group in writer joining two or more pictures?
You cannot group images in Writer.
Use Draw to group and copy the result to Writer.
Depending on what you want to achieve exactly, you can also export in Draw first and select the image format beforehand.
Please edit your question to improve its description. Give an idea of the purpose, final layout, ⌠What are these pictures? How are they related to each other?
In general, in Writer, you donât âgroupâ pictures. You layout them by adjusting their frame properties, notably position.
If you really want to handle the pictures as a single âobjectâ, youâd better group them using a dedicated graphical program (Draw which is part of LO offers basic functionality; Gimp has more features).
Donât forget to mention OS name, LO version and save format.
A few words about the background:
- The insertion of images into a Writer document creates a different kind of objects as compared with images inserted into a Draw slide or into a Calc sheet.
- In Writer you get a special kind of frame containing the Graphic, and frames canât be grouped.
- In Draw and also in Calc you get a shape object.
- Shapes can be added to a ShapeCollection. You then can group the collected shapes.
- Neither a drawing nor a spreadsheet can contain frames of the kind used in Writer. If you copy an image originally inserted into Writer, and paste âitâ into Draw or Calc surroundings, the objects must be converted to shapes therefore. You wonât see a difference, but the handling changes.
- If you copy objects in Draw or Calc -whether grouped or not- the selection can be pasted into a Writer document because it also accepts shapes.
- You can this way get two instances of the same image (e.g.) in Writer looking identically, but one being shape-handled, and one being frame-handled.
- (A recommendation which you may reject of course:) To keep the confusion within limits, you should therefore to a single Writer document either import all images via Draw or Calc, or import them all directly - and dispense with the option of grouping.
- (An extra:) Insertion of captions again creates frames, and such frames containing a textfield and a caption text and an image of one or another type even confuse the Copy/Paste tools. Insert captions for images therefore only if all the images are of same âbackground typeâ, and no further Copy/Paste outside Writer will be needed.
