Q17. (a) What is the benefit of grouping drawing objects in Writer?
Grouping drawing objects lets you treat several objects as a single unit. Once grouped you can move, resize, rotate or format them together which saves time and ensures consistent positioning. Grouping also preserves relative alignment and spacing between objects and simplifies editing complex layouts (e.g., diagrams, posters) because changes apply to the whole group rather than to each object separately.
Q17. (b) Differentiate between Text Wrapping and Image Alignment in Writer.
Text wrapping controls how document text flows around an image (e.g., wrap through, wrap around, behind text). Image alignment determines the image’s position relative to the page or paragraph (left, center, right, top, bottom). In short: wrapping affects surrounding text flow; alignment defines image placement within the layout.
