There are two possibilities. First, the Write document is only
looking within the folder to which you moved it.
Secondly, the graphics have been turned off. (On my system, the
Graphics On/Off icon is in the Main toolbar on the left side of the
window. It is next to the bottom of that toolbar. Click on this icon to
see if this is the case. If so, the graphics should re-appear. If not,
there is a problem with the links you created.
A better way would be to create the document without the links.
When inserting a graphic, leave the "Link" box unchecked. The graphic
then becomes a part of the Writer document. This is more likely the
problem. You should probably do this for your template first.
