Hello, welcome to VisiHow. Today I'm going to show you how to insert a picture into an OpenOffice document when using your Macbook Air.
Contents
Steps
- 1We're going to go to Insert at the top and click on Picture, then click on From File because we've already saved it.The first thing you need to do is to select a picture, which I have already done and have hidden away somewhere.
- 2This is a nice picture of a frog. Select the photo and click Open.I've saved it to the desktop.
- 3The options we have are in the Picture box that has appeared to the left.Now we have inserted a picture into our document and we can edit it.
- 4I will change it to Solarization.We have filters, we can change the filter if we want to.
- 5Click on OK when you are done.We can change the Threshold value and invert it if we want.
- 6We can undo this by pressing Command + Z.Now you can see the different image it has created.
- 7You can change the pixel amount which will make it into a mosaic style. Now you can see it looks like a lot of pixels. We can undo this by pressing Command + Z again.We can select some other filters as well, such as Mosaic.
- 8Other options we have in the box are to change it to black and white, watermark and grayscale.
- 9The next option is color, this is where we can change the amount of colors in the images to give it more hue or upgraded shading.
- 10This is a very useful option if you want to add text over the image. You could put the picture in the background and allow the text to come to the foreground.The next option is transparency.
- 11We can also flip the photo horizontally.
- 12Now he looks like he's going to drop down on a school children's picnic.We can also flip it vertically.
- 13So, we created a document about flying frogs and we've inserted a picture. Now we want to insert some text. We have some text here that I've pasted in using Command + V and now we want to wrap the text around.We can also wrap some text around this.
- 14Now we want to wrap it around the photo. We're going to move the picture by clicking on it and dragging it, you can also change the size by clicking and dragging on the green boxes in the corners and sides of the image. Now we have found the place we wanted, we can use the buttons up on the top where my mouse is to wrap the image around the text.We're going to select it, then increase the font size to make it more readable.
- 15So, if you place the image on top of the text and press the wrap text button, the text will move to form itself around the image. It has become an image surrounded by text, sort of like a newspaper. This is very useful for creating research documents or anything where you want to connect images and written text. Now you can see it looks very professional. We have a title, we have some information about the frog and we also have the image to support the text.The text will move to accommodate the image.
