How to Move Pictures on Open Office


1. Load the picture or pictures that you want to use onto your computer.
2. Click on the OpenOffice shortcut to start the program. Select the 'Text' option to open the Writer utility. Select the document that you are working with and open it. Click inside the document where you would like to initially place the first image. You can also move it again later once you have it in.
3. Select 'Insert' from the menu. From the options, select 'Picture' and click 'From File.' Browse to the first image that you would like to place in the document and select it. The picture will appear in the document, but it will push all the text below it. If you would like the text to flow around the picture, right-click on the picture, select 'Wrap' and from the options choose 'Optimal Page Wrap.'
4. Select the corner of the picture and resize it to fit the document. To keep the picture proportional, hold down the 'Shift' key while you adjust the size.
5. Hover over the picture with your mouse. When you see the crosshairs you can move the picture where you like in the document, and the text will adjust itself to the new position, wrapping itself around it.
6. Repeat Steps 3 to 5 to place all the pictures in the document. When you are done, save your work.
