I only have to edit the images (usually with Paint Shop Pro) to fix them. I may be able to fix them in MSO's editor as well. I forget now how I did it last May. I know about the PDF - that's how I released the original document. I'm just thinking about cross-platform, cross-office suite collaboration. The images can be left alone until you finish the document. Once finished, you can fix the images and save the doc in the appropriate format. However, it is inconvenient to some degree. Can this be corrected somehow?
