Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one that doesn’t have issues with images in word.

Have you considered the possibility that you don't exist?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

That’d be nice sometimes.

You may be one of the people that format their word docs properly. I hate it when someone spams enter to create a new page.

Damn, almost 28 years on this planet and I've just now learned that there's a very handy separate option for that. Kinda makes sense if you think about it for 5 seconds, but I just never did. I do know how to deal with images properly though, so I'm not a complete idiot.

What is this mythical feature?

Control (or command) + enter for those wondering. Or via the insert menu -> “page break”.

I don't either. But I tend to use (La)TeX to typeset documents.

Can you paste an image from the clipboard and place it on the page, using a mouse, without messing up the formatting of the rest of the page in latex?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not that I know of. But LaTeX is not a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. It’s a markup language.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

yes; people that are complaining simply have a skill issue

You can easily fix this by changing the image behavior too
