I'm wondering if it is the docx extension/format that is causing you
grief.
Does your version of Office allow you to save files as old-style doc?
Yes, the file concerned is a .doc (which seems to load OK in M$ Office
2003). The problem comes when other programs which claim Office
compatibility try to load it. Albeit the original was a .docx file,
which I saved as a .doc file.
Problem was I think that the calendar was created using a Calendar
wizard so I have no real control over how it generates the layout. I'm
sure I'll find a way to simplify it, but I have had the odd problem
like this in the past which took me a while to sort out.
Anyway, too much non-QL talk (even though the QaLendar is something
for QL users).

Dilwyn, on your original message about the calendar you said that the
.docx file would be 10M; however the 2011 one on your website is 1.3M.
This 2011 one loaded into OO perfectly, with the pictures at the top.
The 2012 pdf has pictures at the bottom. Your good intentions have put
you to all this trouble and I apologise for this.
