Hi folks

Thank you for commenting.

I don't want to re-open, but I was wondering if you could answer this:

Given that it is a pretty common requirement to layout a document so pictures
are on one side and text on the other, how would you go about automating that?
No one likes "artificially" going through the final version of 100-page
document inserting countless page breaks and aligning the pictures on the left
with the corresponding paragraph on the right (especially since modifying that
document will mess the layout up and require to do it all over again).

The workaround I found (
https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/937/illustrations-on-left-pages-and-text-on-right-pages/?answer=1377#post-id-1377
) is clearly not ideal, it is using the "next style" feature to create left and
right pages styles, and it is using a "header" that takes up the whole of the
page in one of the styles so the text never makes it into those pages.
The least elegant thing I've ever come up with, really.
