Are the images embedded in the document, or are they links? One way to
check, apart from a macro, is to copy your document to a "zip" file
extension (copy hello.odt to hello.zip) and then unzip the document.
Look for the images in one of the directories.

Actually, they're both. But right now the two I have open are scanned documents meaning the graphics are embedded.

I'm not understanding your post though: Since literally copying a file to a zip is meaningless, I assumed you meant to zip it. As expected, it zipped fine. the zip contains only the one file, and unzipping it over-writes the exact same file I zipped. Yes, I'm working with copies. If you meant HT* format, well yes, that will create a folder for the images, but I don't see the relevance.

So I guess you'll have to clarify that for me. No subfolder etc. were created.

I used Word and it worked fine.  Displays graphics OK.
Opening the Word document with Writer is also fine; graphics OK.
But creating the Writer document same way I did with Word, only the plackeepers show up; as if placekeepers were turned on.

I'll have to experiment some more I guess.

Thanks,

Twayne

Twayne,

What he was saying was to make a copy of the file somewhere on your computer (desktop maybe?) and then for you to rename the copied file so that it had a zip extension. IE: Rename hello.odt to hello.zip. Why? So that you could then open the file with your archive handling software. An odt file is actually a zip file, but some archiving software won't open it unless it has a zip extension.

Regards,
Jack
