Hi,
I'm using Org-mode version 8.2.7c (8.2.7c-74-gd2ecbe-elpa, org-plus-contrib
package).
I am writing a documentation in org mode with the intent of exporting it to
libreoffice (using libreoffice 4.2.6.3 on ubuntu 12.04).
This works in general very well.
I have a minor problem with image anchors.
I think I followed the docs when writing
#+ATTR_ODT: :width 17 :anchor "page"
#+CAPTION: Some text.
#+LABEL: fig:figureLabel
[[file:someFig.png]]
The :anchor statement seems to be ignored in the export process, I always
get images anchored to the paragraph.
When using Jambunathan's version of ox-odt I get images anchored to the
page, but there seem to be problems if there are two images on one page,
images covering each other when both are anchored to the page..
One of the few cases where doc is ahead of implementation?
Regards
Martin

Confirmed, but it seems to be a documentation error, not a bug.
It works if you leave out the quotation marks:
#+ATTR_ODT: :anchor page
The docs do indeed unequivocally require quotation marks, but I don't
think there is any need for them.
Yours,
Christian

This indeed helped. Unfortunately, it turns out that the anchoring is of limited
use, because I get collisions (images at same position). Well, org-mode export
is not LateX - there is probably no way to control that within the org mode file..
Regards,
Martin

Not currently, as far as I'm aware. LibreOffice lacks Latex's ability to
decide for itself where best to place an image on the page, and Org-mode
shouldn't even try.
It's no doubt technically possible to add a feature to specify image
coordinates in the ATTR_ODT line, but I don't know if there would be a
point. In very many cases, it will probably be easier to fix stuff
manually in LibreOffice afterwards than specifying coordinates in Org.
Yours,
Christian

True. Probably the cleanest solution is to stick to paragraph anchors and move
images physically. Should be stable enough if there are enough forced page
breaks, eg for each chapter.
Thanks again,
Martin

That doesn't seem to be the case, the org-plus-contrib package would
advertise itself with the "-elpaplus" suffix.

Achim.
