After doing some extensive testing, the problem seems to lie with images that are floated or positioned.
To summarise my results, the only images which display as expected in an ODT are of the following form: 1. [[File:foo.jpg]] 2. [[File:foo.jpg|100px]] 3. [[File:foo.jpg|border]] The following examples do not display at all: 4. [[File:foo.jpg|thumb|100px]] 5. [[File:foo.jpg|thumbnail|100px]] 6. [[File:foo.jpg|frame]] Add a "left", "right", "center", or "none" to any of the six examples above, and the result does not display at all. Examples 1, 2 and 3 do not allow captions to be displayed along with the image, so are not a great workaround. I have tested with OpenOffice version 3.3 as well as past versions (2.x and 1.x), and LibreOffice 3.3.3, all of which have the same problem. Microsoft Word 2007 refuses to even open the downloaded ODT, claiming an "Unspecified error". It is vital that I can download ODT versions of my wiki pages, so I am hoping that other members of this group can provide me with some help.
