I have found several ways to make the invisible figures visible again in the ODT. Unfortunately, those changes don't "stick" when the PDF is created. Perhaps your method will work (I will try when on a bigger sample of figures), although it may (indeed, almost surely will) lead to other problems when the file is exported to other formats. Jared Kobos reports no problems with images in the Impress Guide. That book has been worked on by fewer people, and I am fairly sure none of it originated as .sxw files in OOo1.x. That last point may well be the most relevant. This is really helping to make the case for reconstructing at least some of the GS chapters from scratch, despite the work involved to do that. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
