Hi , I have been using open office for a week now and I am adding photos to documents I am making and I cannot change the photo from landscape to portrait. Is there a way I can get my photos to appear in portrait? I cannot find any way to change the display of this. Even when I add a photo that has been taken in portrait it still loads in landscape.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Is it a Writer (textual) document or other?

Re: How to change picture view
Tha "landscape" and "portrait" are Page properties in the AOO/LO, but you can ROTATE some inserted graphical objects in the documents - independently from the page orientation.

Re: How to change picture view
The landscape/portrait orientation of the Page will not rotate the Page contents. You must rotate the picture itself: you can adjust the rotate property of the image in the Writer document, or you can rotate it by a third party software before you insert it into the document.it is a text document.

See [Tutorial] Some useful hints on using images for a discussion on how best to handle images in Writer.
It's a property of the image. Open the image in IrfanView and type R to rotate it 90 deg right or L to rotate it 90 deg left. Save it. Insert it.

Also, while manipulating the image with IrfanView, as John_Ha suggests, it would be good to do any cropping and enhancement needed.
