hyperlink an Image [Solved]

How do I create an image in Writer to open a site using a browser?

I can create a hyperlink by selecting text but can not find any help on how to do the same thing using an image placed into a Writer document.

Please help.

Shocked

Insert the image, right click on it, select Picture, select the Hyperlink tab. The rest is obvious.

Thank you for the help.

is there a way to make the picture become a button to open the link?

The picture IS actually behaving like a button.

Try the document in non-edit mode...

Sorry, couldn't help to notice that the hyperlink for some reason disappears and needs to be set again once the document is opened.

I tried to "Anchor" the picture but after saving and opening the same document, the set default anchor seems to overwrite or the selected anchor setting before the save does not seem to work the way I would like it to.

Is there a way to set the hyperlink from not disappearing after editing the document?
I guess having the image anchored as well would be nice...Is there a way to do this as well?

How do I view the document in non-editing mode?

thank you

Saving it in a .odt format seems to have resolved this problem however I still do not understand how to enter the non edit mode and what I could use it for.

It's disabled in OOo 3.3, AOO 3.4 and LibreOffice 3.5.1.2. Apparently a new thing?

Has the described problem been succesfully resolved by anyone? I am having hard time trying to permanently link hyperlinks to images in a *.doc file but every time I do attach these links, they're gone after the document is closed and reopened.
The way to save the document as an *.odt file is not acceptable for me. It MUST be saved as a *.doc file.
Any suggestion please?

You expect too much of conversion filters. If you want that much high fidelity, get a copy of MS Word.
