Description toddrme2178 2011-04-29 05:24:35 UTC
It would be really useful to be able to set a caption to be located to the left or right of an object.  This is particularly useful if you want the caption to be a single number.  These are very common format for formulas, for example:

[Formula] (1)
[Formula] (2)

or 

(1) [Formula]
(2) [Formula]

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Thank you for reporting this enhancement request! I can confirm that this is a valid enhancement request on:
Version: 4.1.0.0.alpha0+Build ID: 6e3e6ef7257e93743a72719581ef6fe0016e58e
Date:   Thu Apr 11 15:24:38 2013 +0200 
Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64
+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + 
As I've been able to confirm the enhancement request I am marking as:

New (confirmed)
Enhancement
Medium - seems useful for anyone using captions to have some freedom of where the caption is placed


Note: A useful option would be to have a similar graphic as you do when you do Format -> Page -> Background and select Graphic, the dialog then allows you to select 9 placement points for the background image. Similar functionality for captions would be nice.

LibreOffice is powered by a team of volunteers, every bug is confirmed (triaged) by human beings who mostly give their time for free. We invite you to join our triaging by checking out this link:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage

There are also other ways to get involved including with marketing, UX, documentation, and of course developing -  http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/. 

Lastly, good bug reports help tremendously in making the process go smoother, please always provide reproducible steps (even if it seems easy) and attach any and all relevant material
