TURNING A PICTURE(IMAGE) INTO A LIBREOFFICE OBJECT So the problem here is to turn your picture (image) into a Libre object first then it’ll be able to rotate freely.ĭigging deeper, online I found these steps that may be of help to you to do just that! With the image rotation option in Word, users have a lot of different ways to rotate images by angles. Pictures (images) in Libre are restricted to 90° whereas LibreOffice objects can be rotated to any angle you wish. The images inserted into Word all have additional image editing, such as choosing the display position of the image relative to the content, adding image borders, or reducing the image size in Word. You can also easily rotate objects in 90-degree increments or specify an exact angle to rotate.
Looking online though, I learned from a webpage showing how to Rotating Objects in LibreOffice, that importing or inserting a picture in LibreWriter first, it'll be treated as a picture. Word allows you to flip an object horizontally or vertically, creating a mirror-image version.
