The following anchoring options are available in the LibreOffice Writer:
• To Page: The object or 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 object or image is not required to be visually
associated with a particular piece of text.
• To Paragraph: The object or image is visually associated with a paragraph and moves along the paragraph too. It may
be placed in the margin or another location.
• To Character: The object or image is associated with a character but is not in the text sequence. It moves with the
character but can be placed in the margin or another location.
• As Character: The object or 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 object or 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.
To change the anchoring options of an image, perform the following steps:
Step 1: Right-click on the image and select the Anchor option from the context menu.
A submenu appears on the screen.
Step 2: Select the desired anchor option from the submenu.
To Page: In the below figure, the image is anchored to page:
