--- Comment #6 from RGB <rgb.mldc at gmail.com> ---
Just to make things clear, a quick and oversimplified review of what LaTeX does
by default (users can change those settings) with its "floats," either figure
or table, always considering the insertion point as reference:

  1. If there is space, figure is moved to the top of the page text area

  2. If there is no space on top, figure is moved to the bottom of the text
area

  3. If still there is no place, figure is moved to the following page

  4. If *still* there is no place, figure gets its own page, as close as
possible to the insertion point

The probability of getting two pictures superpose is exactly zero in LaTeX, and
they will never cover footnotes.

All this is performed automatically by LaTeX every time the document is
compiled.

In Writer you can set the frame positioning to be on top or bottom of the text
area, even in the frame style, but there is a high risk of two pictures going
one on top of the other or accidentally covering footnotes, so you need to do
the positioning by hand for each frame, and then move anchor points of those
frames to avoid "holes" at the end of page when the paragraph to which the
frame is anchored moves to the next page.
