Default Alignment for Inserted Images

users
#1

When I place the cursor at the beginning of a paragraph (left margin) in
Writer and "insert" a graphic, it always defaults to being center-aligned.
This isn't normally a big deal, but I need to put in a slew of these and
it's therefore become tedious.

Is there a way to change this default behavior so that Writer will always
insert the graphic as right-aligned? I've wandered through all the setup
menus I could think of, but can't find any such setting.

In a similar vein, is there a way to set these same defaults for tables,
frames, and the like?

Thanks.

Inserted graphics appear to inherit the Graphics paragraph style. Select a graphic, open the Styles and Formatting window, right-click the Graphics paragraph style, and select Modify... . At Type | Position | Horizontal, select something such as Right to "Page text area". Future inserts will appear right-aligned.

I trust this helps.

Thanks Brian:

Once again, I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that before posting. As
usual, you've come to the rescue quickly and with a response that's right on
target.

As with most folks looking for answers here, seeing a response from you with
your famous catch-phrase "I trust this helps" is pretty much a guarantee of
a good answer.

For the forum in general:

From the shows on television this week, it seems to be music awards season

and, so far as I'm aware, Brian Barker doesn't have any albums or songs up
for a grammy, but does anyone else believe that he should be voted as the
"most consistently knowledgeable and (even more importantly) helpful" person
lurking on this forum?

I don't believe that Brian Barker has ever addressed any help request from me, but he nevertheless richly deserves the bluest of blue ribbons as the:

"most consistently knowledgeable and (even more importantly) helpful" person.

Whilst most others are simply deleted after minor perusal, I archive all of his responses in a massive file that I can search when trouble strikes, and the official documentation fails, as it so often does.

HI :slight_smile:

There are many other contributors whose answers are always of a similarly
high quality. I save answers from quite a few people here. Regina, for
example - but i'd be hard-pushed to name anyone as prolific over such a
long time-span as Brian.
