Anchoring
                 Anchors can be used to position an image in a document. An
                 anchored item remains in place or moves when the document
                 is modified. If the image has been placed in a frame, we can
                 anchor the graphic in a fixed position inside the frame. Then
                 the frame can be anchored to the page, a paragraph, or a
                 character, as required. When an image is inserted, an anchor
                 icon appears on the left side of image. We can position an
                 anchored item by dragging the item to another location.
                 When an image is inserted, an anchor icon appears on the left
                 side of image. We can position an anchored item by dragging
                 the item to another location.

                 The following anchoring options are available in LibreOffice Writer:

                   To Page: The image remains in the same position in relation to the page margins. It does not move after
                   adding or deleting text or other images. This method is useful when the image is not required to be visually
                   associated with a particular piece of text. It is often used while producing newsletters or other documents
                   with intensive layout or for placing logos on letterheads.
                   To Paragraph: The image is visually associated with a paragraph and moves along the paragraph too. It
                   may be placed in the margin or another location. This method is an alternative to a table for placing icons
                   besides paragraphs.

                   To Character: The image is associated with a character but is not in the text sequence. It moves with the
                   paragraph but can be placed in the margin or another location. This method is similar to anchoring to a
                   paragraph but cannot be used with drawing objects.

                   As Character: The image is placed in the document like any other character, and therefore, affects the height
                   of the text line and the line break. The graphic moves with the paragraph as we add or delete text before the
                   paragraph. This method is useful for keeping screenshots in sequence in a procedure (by anchoring them
                   as a character in a blank paragraph) or for adding a small (inline) icon in sequence in a sentence.

                   To Frame: If the image has been placed in a frame, we can anchor the graphic in a fixed position inside the
                   frame. The frame can then be anchored to a page, paragraph or character as required. When an image is
                   inserted, an anchor icon appears on the left side of image. We can position an anchored item by dragging
                   the item to another location.
                             Notes

                             To Page anchor option can be accessed by double-clicking on the image and selecting the To Page
                             radio button under the Anchor option.

                 Step 1:  Create a document with some text and insert an image in it.

                 Step 3:  Click on the Format menu from the Menu bar.
