How to turn off caption properties.

Hi all,

Writer any version 5.x.x

In the coming weeks I have many documents I need to create, each with a
large number captioned images. These images will not be referenced from
within the text by any form of category or numbering, the will each have
a short line of descriptive text.

For each individual image the "Insert Caption > Properties > Category"
defaults to "Illustration" which, for my purposes, has to be reset to
"[None]". For a small number of images this is no big deal, but it is a
real productivity killer for my current needs.

Does anyone know how to permanently set the category to "[None]", either
globally or on a per document basis?

TIA

Dave

Greetings,

I do not know how to set the setting to [None] permanently. However,
you can go in the options (Tools -> Options -> LibreOffice Writer ->
AutoCaption) and set the category of the caption there. If you activate
the setting, whenever you insert an image, LO Writer will automatically
insert a frame and a caption with your image, but with the category you
want (in this case, it would be [None]). You can then click inside the
frame to enter the caption you want; note that in my version, the frame
is automatically selected after the insertion so I have to click
somewhere to unselect the frame and then I can click into the frame to
edit the caption.

I hope this helps.

You might not need to deselect the frame first. I'm a little out of date on 5.1.3, but on that version I can just start typing with the frame selected, and it starts editing the text. Or press Enter or F2 to switch to edit mode.
