Hi :) Another way of following Regina's route is to; 1. make a copy of the file 2. rename the file-ending from .docX (or from .odt) to .zip 3. double click on the zip-file 4. look in the likely-looking folders until you find the object 5. drag that out of the document
To fully follow her route you might 6. delete the object from the zip-file 7. rename the .zip to .docx (or .odt) 8. open the file with LibreOffice and carry on with her 2nd-to-last paragraph (create a link to the object and then delete the remaining broken-object Once you have done that sort of thing once or twice you realise that you don't really have to rename at all. Just a right-click allows you to "open with ...". Some OSes make it easier. It's toughest in Windows because Windows tries to hide the file-ending. On Windows you might need to tweak your machine a bit to make it easier and i only know how to do that on Xp. It's probably possible on Win7 and Win8 but if i get into anything like this i reboot into Ubuntu or something to avoid faffing around.
