--- Comment #10 from Justin L <jl...@mail.com> ---
repro 7.6+
In this comment I am going to focus on the Lions picture on the right, anchored
"to paragraph" inside another frame and positioned according to the entire
paragraph area. On saving to DOC format, it changes to as-character anchor -
and of course is completely misplaced.

This was already true in OOo 3.3.

Changing a "to paragraph" anchor to an "as character" anchor doesn't seem to
make sense. But we have in wrtw8nds.cxx aFlyFrame.ForceTreatAsInline(); and if
that is ignored, then the image is lost.

Well, that helps to make sense of what I saw in MS Word. When looking at the
properties of that inline picture, I couldn't do anything about the layout -
all the settings were grayed out. If I copy and paste that picture into the
frame again, it still has no positioning. But if I paste into the body text,
then the positioning is available.

So it really is true, DOC format doesn't allow a floating image inside of a
frame. There is basically NOTHING we can do to fix this. [Changing the anchor
to to-page isn't a great idea because the contents might flow differently, and
thus put the image on a different page.]

This is a DOC format limitation.
