Now I am working on this file and make sure, every image gets a name and a

However, I remember clearly having given every image a name and save the file

but when I opened the file at home, ALL these names and descriptions are gone.
Maybe I found the answer.
The file I was working on and save in regular intervals is located on something
like Dropbox - so that I can access it on my computers at home and in the
office.
Images are inserted using Ctrl+F5, retrieving the images from a folder holding
all the relevant images.
But the image folder is on my local hard drive, whereas the file I am working on is on a
"net drive".
So, maybe the writer file on the netdrive looks for the images, but cannot find
them, since they are on the HDD.
The images themselves DO display just fine.
Do I need ONE folder containing both the writer file AND the image folder to
move around?
What happens when I am finally done and want to store the finished work on my
HDDs?
When you insert an image, the dialogue box where you select the image file has
a small check box (bottom left) marked 'link'. If you want the image to be
integrated permanently into your book text, this link box should NOT be checked.
If you have linked your images (instead of importing them permanently), you can undo
the links using Edit > links to external files > break
The advantage of linking comes if the image is subject to future modification.
In that case, when the image is modified, the document automatically displays
the updated image.
In any case, with a major work like a book, it is good practice and saves a lot
of possible troubles, to keep all the images in a sub-folder of the book
project.
