Don't see advantage from To Paragraph when the image is placed within a frame. So I agree with keeping the value. What do you think, Regina?

FWIW: default is 'to character' I proposed change 'as character'. Keep they existing is not what I asked for :-).

You are right, the anchor is changed automatically and should be "As Character" rather than At Paragraph".

I'm not an expert at all, but since anchor of image is now at beginning of the caption frame, it might be the expected result: Image is "connected" with caption frame - sounds logic to me.

Regina?

What Telesto is asking for is what happens when saved to DOCX format - it round-trips as an AS-CHAR inside a drawing object.

However, in ODT format it remains a TO-PARA image inside an SwFrame.

So the main benefit is for eventual export to MS Formats (bug 96579)

lcl_InsertDrawLabel  and lcl_InsertLabel
- SwFormatAnchor aAnch( RndStdIds::FLY_AT_PARA );
+ SwFormatAnchor aAnch( RndStdIds::FLY_AS_CHAR );

Unfortunately, doing that deletes the image...
