You say: a. Files (generated by XFC) looked good with all images. b. If I open a docx XMLmind file in Word individually and do a save as to doc I get a good file. The problem occurs only when you convert a docx XMLmind file to .doc using the docx2doc.txt macro. First of all, what you did seems to prove that Word when invoked by a macro does not have the same behavior as Word used as a desktop application! We admit that the way we create images in a .docx file is a bit outdated in respect with the latest OOXML specs and that we may change this in a future release. This change *may* have the side-effect to solve your problem. In constrast, the way we create images in RTF and WordprocessingML is fully compliant with the specs of these formats. Therefore, as a workaround, I suggest that you change your toolchain to generate RTF rather than .docx and then convert this RTF to .doc. *May* *be* this will solve the problem. If you do this and solve your problem, please be kind enough to inform us of this fact. > Terry Badger > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Hussein Shafie <[email protected]> > *To:* Terry Badger <[email protected]> > *Cc:* "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > *Sent:* Thu, March 3, 2011 10:56:40 AM > *Subject:* Re: [XFC] XMLmind XSL-FO Converter v4.2p1 > > On 03/03/2011 02:58 PM, Terry Badger wrote: >> I have been using your converter for some time with reasonable success. >> Normally I create my files on C: and then open in Word and hand convert >> to doc format.
