(In reply to Kalen from comment #0) > Many previous > versions of LibreOffice have had this happen. Thank you for reporting the bug. Please add informations from HELP => About LibreOffice to make clear, what version you are using. Thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. If you are not using the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ please try to repdroduce it with that version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
Updated version info, but problem has persisted for several versions over the last year or so. (Only noticed because I only started adding images to documents over the last year.)

A sample file would really helpful. I can't reproduce it

Conforming with Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 0b21f6556b6fff76290d1095089da89532365215 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: nl-NL (nl_NL); UI-Language: en-US Calc: CL and with 4.4.7.2 For DOC & DOCX file-format But not an expert on file-format compatibility
=> NEW bcause of comment 5
Word has no feature "anchor to page". I think, duplicate to bug 49179.
(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #7) > Word has no feature "anchor to page". > > I think, duplicate to bug 49179. Apparently none of the formats I have tried have succeeded in maintaining the 'anchor to page' option I require for these documents. (Word 97-2003 and Word 2007-2019, and Open Office XML Text (.doc and .docx formats)) Which format should I use if this isn't a bug? If the feature doesn't work, why is it maintained as an option?
LibreOffice/ODT There are historical reason foor the existence of 'anchoring to page' for LibreOffice native format (ODT). Some info from bug 49179 comment 17 Years ago page anchoring was the only way to put a frame/picture to any position on the page. A frame anchored to a paragraph could not be located e.g. on top of the page. Later other anchor types were extended to make that possible. So now page anchoring has no advantages anymore. Disadvantages are that other applications might not be able to put the object to the right page because they might create a different layout or they might not have any layout at all (e.g. xslt transformations) DOC/DOCX Anchoring to page is a LibreOffice anchoring type. There s no to-page anchoring equivalent in the file-format of MS Word. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 49179 ***

Or to save as the less common file type of ODT.
