Wrap in Office Writer
Wrap in Office Writer
I have two Mac computers with Open Office installed. In writer I want to insert a picture and then use "Optimal Page Wrap". On one computer I have no problem doing this, but on the other one (which has a newly installed Open Office) I can't get it. I go to Format/Wrap/ and in the next box at the top is a checked "Wrap Off", under which everything else is greyed out except "Edit" at the bottom. How do I restore the greyed out items?

What does right-clicking the image offer?
Does this document work on both PCs?
If not fixed, please upload a small document file (eg .odt) showing the problem so that it can be analysed. Use the Upload attachment tab below where you type. 128 kB max here or use a file share site for larger files.

Re: Wrap in Office Writer
Sorry, I've tried but have no idea how to work that attachment doc/file you have provided.
I'm not sure what you mean by your query "Does this document work on both PCs?" The document works on both but the word wrap only works on one.
Just now I have tried using wrap on a new document and everything works perfectly. I'm totally bamboozled. Obviously from this latest attempt on a new document there is nothing wrong with Writer. It must be something I am not doing correctly. I don't know what else to tell you.

Double click on the file in John_Ha's post and select to download and save it to disk. Then open it after downloading and see what the wrap does on both your computers - this is a way of determining if the problem is in your file or in your computer configuration..

On both computers the file showed a word wrap around a picture.

Yes - but was the menu still greyed out on the one PC?JasperG wrote:On both computers the file showed a word wrap around a picture.
If it is still greyed out you may find that resetting the profile on the non-working PC helps - see Resetting the user profile.
You do need to be more precise with you comments - we are trying to solve the problem "the menu is greyed out on one PC" so we need to know which PC you are talking about and whether we have fixed it!!
