Hi!
In order to repeat some shapes on all pages I added them to the header.
To stay in the header the anchor has to be the paragraph.
Now the vertical position “From Top of the paragraph” is limited to a maximum of 15,14cm.
Is there a way to change that limit?
Which other method could I use to repeat shapes on every page?
Kind regards,
Willy
The image must fit inside the page. The distance is measured from the top right hand corner. If it is an A4 sheet and you are limited to 15,14 cm then your image is 14.56 cm tall. Maybe there is blank space at the bottom of the image, right click the image and select Crop, drag the blue handle to crop the image.
@EarnestAl’s explanation is the right one. However I want to point out a better choice for your position reference.
To have your shapes repeated, the anchor must be associated to the header, i.e. To paragraph on the (possibilby empty) header.
But, according to your description, the position of the shapes is not at all related to the header. Then choose as the reference (origin):
The benefit of choosing such references is to be independent from the effective contents of the header which may change with text volume, font size, spacing, …
PS: when asking here always mention OS name and LO version (because of subtle differences) and save format (only .odt allows to keep all suggested formatting).
Hi all!
Thanks for your answers. But the situation here is different.

Attached you can find the document I’m using. The drawing object is a horizontal line (no 6) with the dimensions 1 x 0,04cm. It is anchored to the paragraph of the empty header.
The three lines should appear on all pages.

IMHO your document is badly designed.
Too often, newcomers here ask to patch their design choices instead of describing the result to achieve. Thus they orient contributors on a track which is perhaps not optimal.
What is the role of the 3 line segments?
Why have you frames? Frames are to be avoided when they are not semantically and logically necessary
Why is your logical table split into 2 separate tables (one for column heading, the other for data)? You’ll get into trouble to synchronise cell widths aver both tables
Give a better description of your goal to trigger better suggestions.
