Berlin, September 3, 2020 – LibreOffice 7.0.1, the first minor release of the LibreOffice 7.0 family, targeted at technology enthusiasts and power users, is now available for download from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/. LibreOffice 7.0.1 includes around 80 bug fixes and improvements to document compatibility.

The most significant new features of the LibreOffice 7.0 family are: support for OpenDocument Format (ODF) 1.3; Skia graphics engine and Vulkan GPU-based acceleration for better performance; and carefully improved compatibility with DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files.
LibreOffice offers the highest level of compatibility in the office suite arena, starting from native support for the OpenDocument Format (ODF) – with better security and interoperability features – to wide support for proprietary formats.
LibreOffice 7.0.1 represents the bleeding edge in term of features for open source office suites. Users wanting the robustness of a more mature version optimized for enterprise class deployments can still download LibreOffice 6.4.6.
For enterprise class deployments, TDF strongly recommends sourcing LibreOffice from one of the ecosystem partners, to get long-term supported releases, dedicated assistance, custom new features and other benefits, including SLAs (Service Level Agreements): https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-in-business/.
Support for migrations and training should be sourced from certified professionals who provide value-added services which extend the reach of the community to the corporate world. Also, the work done by ecosystem partners flows back into the LibreOffice project, and this represents an advantage for everyone.
LibreOffice – thanks to its mature codebase, rich feature set, support for open standards, excellent compatibility and long-term support options – represents the ideal solution for businesses that want to regain or keep control of their data and free themselves from vendor lock-in.
LibreOffice individual users are supported by a global community of volunteers: https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/. On the website and the wiki there are guides, manuals, tutorials and HowTos. Donations help us to make all of these resources available.
LibreOffice users are invited to join the community at https://ask.libreoffice.org, where they can get and provide user-to-user support. People willing to contribute their time and professional skills to the project can visit the dedicated website at https://whatcanidoforlibreoffice.org.

Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Positioning picture has been a problem ever since LibreOffice and OpenOffice were OpenOffice.org -- and possibly before. Inserting graphics is no problem, but try to anchor, align, or indent, and the picture changes position, sometimes by a matter of centimeters, but just as often jumping to a different place entirely on the page, leaving users frustrated and uncertain about the solution.
Over the years, some palliatives have been discovered. Power Users know that things are more likely to go wrong with the default anchor, To paragraph, and will replace it with As character instead. Often, too, users are unaware that adding a caption throws a frame around a graphic, and choose one when they need to control the other. At other times, paragraph settings interfere with the picture settings. In a recent post to the Apache OpenOffice user's list, Regina Henschel also suggested that two pictures should not be attached to one paragraph, and that the Follow text flow option on a picture (or frame's) Type tab should not be unchecked (which it is in the latest LibreOffice version).
I also suspect -- but have not yet confirmed -- that the general memory options play a role. In both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, the handling of pictures seems to improve when the graphics cache is set to the maximum of 256 megabytes, the memory per object to 10 megabytes, and the number of objects to 40.
Libre Office Macos
If documents use few graphics, and formatting is kept simple, some users may have no trouble with pictures whatsoever. In fact, one use claims to have had no troubles in ten years.
However, for those with more demanding requirements, the best solution was posted by Solveig Haugland, one of the first writers about OpenOffice.org, in 2009. Her solution was seconded by Jean Hollis Weber, another early writer about the application and currently the documentation lead for LibreOffice and ODF Authors.
If manipulating pictures is important to you, you should read Haugland's instructions in full. However, her basic instructions are:
1. Insert a picture on a blank line.

2. Anchor the picture as character.
3. Place the cursor in the empty line next to the picture, and select the Alignment.
The instructions go on to explain how to align vertically, add a caption, and correct common problems.
These instructions are useful, but even Haugland claims only that that they make pictures 'reasonably manageable.'Clearly, graphics in OpenOffice and LibreOffice are a wicked problem -- that is, one that has multiple causes, and can only be solved by workarounds and careful avoidance of settings that make what should be a simple act unacceptably complex.
The table workaround
Is there a way to keep pictures where you put them? Remembering problems I have had in the past with tab stops, I believe there is: by substituting tables for frames. The workaround has its own limitations, but so far they are fewer than any alternative I have encountered so far.
Here are the steps:
1. Make sure that Auto-Captions are turned off for tables in the options for Writer.
2. Create a table with 1 column and 2 rows (1 rowithout a caption). Turn off the settings to split across page or column, keep with next paragraph, and create heading row.
3. Set the space above and below table.
4. Place the picture in the first row of the table. Position it horizontally by adjusting its alignment or, if you want an indentation from the left, by subtracting space from the total width of the table.

5. Add the caption in the second row and format it.

6. Remove borders from the table. In LibreOffice, they will still be visible on the page, even in Print Preview.
Like using tables to layout HTML pages, this workaround is not elegant. Nor is it completely ideal. It has no text wrap, and, unlike with Auto Caption, captions are not listed as sources for cross-references automatically. Windows not genuine crack. However, you can compensate for the text wrap by using a table with 2 columns and a single row, placing the caption to the left or right of the graphic, and manually select the caption if you need it. So far, the greatest disadvantage I have discovered is that if you resize the picture within the table, adjust the table cells can be difficult.
However, using a table to position pictures has the advantage that it keeps pictures where you place them, and most features that determine position can be edited with the precision instead of avoided altogether. Until someone discovers a better workaround or positioning pictures becomes less of a problem, I offer it as the most practical of the mediocre alternatives available.
