Hi John, I see, this relates to the Writer Guide. It was introduced by me - but I do not feel very guilty :), because it looks like an LO bug. I did two things with the guide files. First, I manually replaced direct formatting by an appropriate style. Then, I removed the unnecessary tagging

Hi :) Gary if you think you have pin-pointed one of the mysterious but increasingly rare vanishing graphics bugs then please do add that information to one of the bug-reports about this. A couple of years ago this mailing-list did seem to help eradicate one of the other rare vanishing graphics

Hi Milos The problems I came across, and I went no further than checking these, lie with the numbering and the list styles. For example, if you care to look at, say Chapter 9 picked at random, and select the OOoNum 123 Start style, you will see that on the 'Outline and Numbering' tab,

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

I anchor all figure graphics as character in their own paragraph. If anyone does it differently in a user guide file, and I notice, I change it. This has worked more reliably for years in our docs than other methods. I don't have the time or energy to explain what the problems are when doing it

Myself, I prefer inserting graphics (images and pictures, according to LO/OO) in figures (illustrations, according to LO/OO) without inserting the figures inside a needless paragraph. I am sure that most writers/editors of the user guides are aware of the hierarchy of the factory-default

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

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

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? Gary On 2/1/2014 5:33 PM, John Smith wrote: Hi The GS Guide Ch4 has been uploaded to here;
