In the вЂњInsert CaptionвЂќ window, we can see there are already some categories we can use:Д«ut we can create new ones by clicking on the input field, and writing any name we want. The next number added to the caption will depend on the category. To allow that, we can select a caption category. For example, we may have drawings and photos in the document and want each to be classified differently. This number is automatically updated when captions are added or removed and can be used for creating an image index (more on this in a future post). This will open the caption edit window.Д®ach caption contains a number. On the top menu click on вЂњInsert > CaptionвЂ¦вЂќ. You know it is selected because of the green squares on its edges. Step 1 вЂ“ Select ImageД¬lick on the image to select it. This is similar to how is done with OpenOffice.

This post describes how to do it with LibreOffice. Sometimes we want to add a small text next to an image. When you are done, click on the вЂњOKвЂќ button.ДЄnd that is it, the image will have text around it with enough space: Add spacing on the left, right, top and bottom of the image. In the Wrap tab you will have a вЂњSpacingвЂќ section. Click on вЂњFrameвЂ¦вЂќ:ДЄ new window with frame options will appear. Click with the right mouse button on the caption frame grey line:ДЄ context menu will appear. To make the document more legible, we will add some space around the image. While it is dragged, a dashed outline is visible: Click on the caption frame grey line, and drag it. For this example I prefer the image to be on one side, and the text on another side. Usually, when we change to Page Wrap, the text goes around both sides of the image. This will make the text go around the image. At the top toolbar, click on the вЂњPage WrapвЂќ button. If your image is not inside a caption frame, skip this step.ДЄt this step, the image will be selected, which is revealed by green squares around it. Because of that we will need to resize it. The image from the example has a caption, which occupies space too. The image from the example is a bit large so we will need to resize it. To have the text around the image we need to leave some space for the text. Here is how to do it: Step 1 - Resize Image In that case we want to wrap the text around the image, like this: It should work fine for most cases, but sometimes we want the text to be continuous, with images fitted inside. This way of placing the image inside text is called вЂњWrap OffвЂќ, and looks like this: But the way we are doing it, the text needs to stop for the image to be presented.

In previous posts we have been adding images in the middle of the text. Here is a video with all the steps above:

Notice how it is much smaller than previously, while the image looks the same.ДЄnd thatвЂ™s it. To compare sizes, we will save the document with a new name:ДЄnd check the document size. The dialog will close, and it might hang for a few seconds again. Then click on вЂњOKвЂќ to apply the new size. Click on the вЂњCalculateвЂќ button to determine the new size.

Click on вЂњCompress GraphicвЂќ:ДЄ compression dialog will be presented. Select compress imageД¬lick with the right mouse button on the image. We need to compress the image, but without losing image quality. With a few more images, it can occupy too much. We start with a big image inside a text document:Д«ecause the image is big, the document is also big: Here we can see how to compress the images inside the document without losing quality but at the same time reducing the document size. Sometimes we add big images to a document, and reduce its size to fit our needs.
