Vertical alignment of images in text

Unread post by vladimir shvetsov »

Hi,
I use small images in text aligned horizontally "with text". I do not see the vertical alignment settings, in fact the images are aligned at the bottom of a text line. Because pictures are slightly taller than text characters (and they have an empty internal margin at the bottom), they "rise" above the line. I would like to center them relative to the text line vertically. Is it possible?

No, this isn't possible. You can go down as far as the baseline by removing all bottom whitespace from the image, but there isn't currently a vertical alignment option like that. Technically, you could use the HTML Object tool to insert it as HTML along with the necessary CSS formatting, but then it would only be output to HTML-based formats and not to PDF and Word.
