Just to clarify my own post, the issue is as follows. I'm running OO.o 2.3 on Windows XP Professional. If I create a simple document in Writer and add an image to it using Insert > Picture > From File menu option, I get a resizable image in the document. If I save the document to MS Word 97/2000/XP and attempt to open it in MS Word, the image is either missing or there is a placeholder of correct size, but the actual picture within that placeholder is a small fraction of the space it's supposed to take up. Clearly, there seems to be a problem and I'd think this is something that others have encountered.
I think this is a feature, not a bug! And it's a feature of Word, in fact, not so much of Writer.
Word has a format called "In line with text". I'm guessing that this is what results if you anchor an inserted picture in Writer "As Character" and then save it in Word format. And Word has an option to do exactly what you describe for this format: to display a placeholder instead of the picture itself. To see the genuine article in Word, go (in Word) to Tools | Options... | View, and remove the tick from "Picture placeholders".
I trust this helps. Brian Barker --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
