Hi Gary
Happily for me, disappearing graphics have not been a problem for a long
time now.
With respect to the Writer guides, Milos has done some work and
'cleaned' them using some software routines. Unfortunately there appears
to be some random changes made to some of the custom styles we use (not
the coloured backgrounds to styles that are in the 'cleaned' files, but
others). I have adopted the routine for Writer of copying and pasting
content from the 'clean' files into a new v3_4 template in order to
reset all the styles that have the same names, to those in the template.
I am going to keep multiple copies for the time being. My earlier
problem was with v4.2.0.3 and now we're into v4.2.0.4 I'm hoping it will
be trouble free. Time will tell.
Regards

A recurring problem I occasionally encountered is having some (or all)
of the Figure graphics disappearing in some (corrupted?) Writer
chapter files for one reason or another--sometimes, even before any
editing/rewriting was done to them. So, I would make multiple files in
the process of editing docs in order to enable returning to an
intermediate edited copy with its graphics still intact--thus not
losing all that editing effort.

Hi Gary
No, no idea why it crashed. I was just editing happily and it
disappeared off screen, with no announcement, on one of the
occasions, another occasion had the look of a 'standard' crash with
warnings and recovery options. It was from one of these, after it
took a good ten minutes to recover a document and something like five
to six minutes to delete a single character that I did a copy/paste
into a new clean template. I did this a couple of times all told
during the work on the chapter.
Copy/paste doesn't transfer over the edits, that is, the deleted or
changed text, with or without 'Record Changes- Show' being enabled
when copying is done. Hence the document not displaying changes made
before pasting.

Do you have any idea why they crashed? Did you try a copy (Ctrl-A
and Ctrl-C)-and-paste of the entire chapter file unto a clean, new
ODT file from the most current template?

Hi
The GS Guide Ch4 has been uploaded to here;
http://www.odfauthors.org/libreoffice/english/getting-started/draft-lo-4.2/chapter-4-getting-started-with-writer/view
Unfortunately, with this copy I had a lot of trouble with LO
crashing and file corruption. There are almost no recorded changes
prior to about page 21 and masses of deleted pages after the
document ends. The chapter is good to go in spite of this.
