Re: [libreoffice-users] Read Error for Graphics

I'm seeing this with ODT's coming from NeoOffice, recent version.  I know the originator of the 
docs was not seeing this, but on Friday it happened to him.  I did not verify if he was using 
NeoOffice or LibreOffice at the time (we both have both).

There may have been an intermediate doc format in the past.  I believe the docs started in 
Indesign.  The graphic formats vary.  Probably mostly JPEG, possibly fairly large.

When this happens ALL graphics vanish, not just some.

It can happen on open, after auto-save, after Save As, and I think just spontaneously.  I have not 
found any recovery other than reversion.  Undo has no effect.  It can happen or not with the same 
doc.  I know this from losing work, going back to the original, and then successfully getting 
through the same work.

Are graphics "embedded" by default?  They appear to be. 

Cheers,
              tod
