How to create a page for pictures?

Post by lbowe »

Hi,

I need to create a page with 6 images on it (with their img name) and cannot figure out how to do it. This is for a photography proof book.
I am new to open office and am completely lost.

Thanks

Welcome. :D You can insert pictures with Insert - Picture - From file. You can right click on them to set options for wrap around the pictures and all that. Read the Help about pictures, that will get you going.

It can be done in Impress, in Draw or in Writer. In latter case, the best way IMHO is to use tables, a cell for the pic and another for the text.

would it have to be done page by page? I have over 600 to make pages of.

This version of PhotoAlbum has been made from andreycord version PhotoAlbum with GUI ver.1.0.1

- New: When you insert a sub-album insert a new slide and we can define its title.
- Change: The title of the slides now have a transparent background. Now, if you apply a master page style is displayed as the slide background.
- New: Now you can select the method of inserting images. The default is embedded (so that the presentation is portable), and optionally, you can choose to insert linked images
- New: When choosing between link or embed images present a warning message.
- Change: Removed the text box to type the path to a folder and the text box and button to set the filter to the way Perl.

This version has been tested in OpenOffice.org vers.3.2.1. In earlier versions untested.
