[Solved] Default settings for image properties in Writer

Post by LornaJ »

Is it possible to customise the default image properties in Writer?

The default seems to be 'anchor to character' and 99% of the time I want the image to anchor to the page.
Similarly, the default position seems to be horizontal 'centre to paragraph area' and vertical 'top to margin' when I'd prefer it to be centre to page text area in both cases, at least 95% of the time.

I note also that if you change any of the other attributes of the image the anchor and position settings seem to get altered as well and have to be manually changed back. I presume this is a bug and not deliberate, as the effect seems fairly random, and definitely unhelpful.

Hi and welcome to the forum!

It is now a feature of LibreOffice starting 7.1.
As I always anchor the pics as character, I can't say about your second issue.

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the *EDIT button if your issue has been fixed.
