Wordprocessor: How to fix a picture to a page to wrap a table around it?

Desktop editors
1

Hi,
I’ve got a word document with a table that flows over many pages (calendar of events, 2 columns, 60 rows with a lot of text). I want to put pictures onto some pages. They should stay anchored to the page and the table shall wrap around the picture. But the pictures are always anchored to a cell of the table with the following undesired effects:

  • the picture is only partly shown (as much as fits into this cell)
  • text wrapping works only inside this cell and not for the neighboring cells
  • the picture flows with the content of the table and dose not stay fixed on the page.

Is there a way to accomplish this or is this a feature request?

Best regards
Martin

Hi Martin,
For this kind of specific help request, I suggest you upload your file and/or some screenshots, to make it easier to understand.

With the information you gave, i would try to split the table in several and put pictures in between.

Hi arcqus,
here is an example page (which I created last year with LibreOffice (which makes many other problems - hence the wish to try OnlyOffice).
If it is not possible, I would dispense with the vertical pictures over two lines. But I need pictures which are as wide as the column or even as wide as the whole page, sometimes even a whole page (width and height). I would prefer keeping the table intact as one, because the layout (filling the white space of each page) is much easier, when you can move everything around.
Besides, I didn’t find a way to split a table (or reunite it again).

Hi Alexandre,
basically it’s just a long table in a word file. I put in a picture, which is bigger then a single cell of the table and want the text of all cells to wrap around it or at least above and below the picture. But in OnlyOffice the picture or a part of it is always visible only in one cell of the table.
I loaded up 2 videos. One made in LibreOffice with the desired result and on with OnlyOffice. In LibreOffice the picture is anchored to the page.
Best regards
Martin
