By default, images are inserted with the same position parameters and Allow overlap option enabled.
You can remedy the situation manually:
-
Open the *Navigator sidepane (either F5
or click on the compass icon in the right window border)
-
Expand the Images section if not already done
-
Right-click on an image name and Image
>Edit
I highly suggest you also Image
>Rename
to give it a better suggestive name than Image99, all the more if you have many images.
-
Go to the Wrap
tab and uncheck Allow overlap
Repeat for each image.
A better solution is to customise built-in Graphics frame style or to create your own frame style (eventually derived from Graphics so that changes applied to Graphics are also inherited by your custom style). Graphics frame style is the default style applied by Writer when you insert images until you apply another one.
- Open the style sidepane (
F11
except on MacOS or Styles
>Manage Styles
)
- Click on the third icon from the left in the toolbar to display frame styles
- Right-click on Graphics and
Modify
- Go to
Wrap
tab and uncheck Allow overlap
OK
Note that it is sometimes difficult to get the changes immediately effective on existing images.
