Insert image onto page not into shape
Hi, I'm having problems inserting an image into a document. OO keeps putting the image into the rectangle already on the page even though it's not selected. I want to place the image on top of the rectangle not in it. Also, I am trying to change the dimensions of the canvas from square to rectangle. So, I've made a new document with rectangular dimensions, but OO keeps reverting the image to a square. Any advice?
Open Office 4.1.2 installed on Windows 10

I recall that this was an issue with a previous version. Didn't tvink that it was as late as 4.1.2, but if that is what you are using you could solve it by downloading the most recent version.
I believe that this happened when there was only one object in your drawing. Try to insert a dummy object before the image, then delete the dummy again.

I tried with V4.1.5 and two rectangles in the first slide/page. The inserted picture replaced the second shape (or its area).keme wrote:I believe that this happened when there was only one object in your drawing. Try to insert a dummy object before the image, then delete the dummy again.
Another workaround: Create a second slide/page (empty) as an intermediate place for imported pictures. Cut them then and paste them to where you want.
On Windows 10: LibreOffice 24.2 (new numbering) and older versions, PortableOpenOffice 4.1.7 and older, StarOffice 5.2
