Hi :) I got the thanks off-list but thought it worth letting others know it had been solved.
Since it was the format then it might be possible to recover the images. * DocX often reorganises images to lay on top of each other so try moving any existing images to see if another one or few is hidden under * DocX often moves images to other pages or tries to hide them off either side or top or bottom of the page A slightly more complicated recovery technique that can be used with Odt or DocX 1. create a copy of the file 2. change the file-ending from DocX to .zip 3. double-click to open as an archive 4. find the folder called something like "images" and drag the images out of there to a useful folder on your machine I'm glad we didn't have to go that far this time though :) Regards from Tom :) On 8 December 2013 13:40, <rncorr...@sapo.pt> wrote: > Yes, it was the saving format!
