Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer loses format of MSOffice2007-Doc (watermark, embedded image, format etc)

Hi :)
I've often found that even tho images appear to have vanished they are still really there 
somewhere.  That gives at least 2 opportunities;
1.  Edit and save without trying to find the images and then see if the images apparently re-appear 
in the right places when the edited file is opened back in MS Office 2007/2010
2.  Hunt around the edges of the pages and move any images you do find anywhere to see if the other 
images have been hidden underneath as they tend to get piled-up on-top of each other.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I generally have success accurately opening docx format files. 
Occasionally I get one that I have to open MSO and convert to doc (2003) 
or ODF 1.0/1.1. Usually it is some graphic layout that causes the 
problem. This is known issue with LO and AOO.

docx file conversions are occasionally difficult because MS is trying to 
push their proprietary MS Office and makes open the file accurately 
problematic.

If you are using Linux, you might try Calligra Words (probably available 
in your repository) to see if it is better at opening the file and 
saving to odt.
