Shortcut for Dropping Many Photos Into Writer Doc

users
#1

I have to prepare a report to send to a governmental agency to get approval for something for our new lot. That involves sending in a large number of photos, with comments and descriptions, for documentation of what the area is like.

I’m looking at a document with 30+ photos in it.

It’s not a major issue, but is there an easy shortcut to just drop them all in there, then arrange them as I go? Or do I just need to keep inserting photos as I get to each one?

Thanks!

On Windows, you can select several image files in Windows Explorer, then drag and drop them onto a Writer document. They end up on top of each other, so it looks like only one has been inserted, but you can move them around the rest are underneath.

Hal,
        You could do this either way. I prefer to insert as I get to the correct part of the text, this way
you can fit/size them to suit the script, so that you do not have a massive re-editing task later.
Suggest you look at the Help, for details of how to insert images.

Hi Hal,

I've created a new extension for that, but wait with publishing till the
extension website is renewed..

You may use the attached ( in CC mail only) version if you like.
