You should update your Office 2010 installation by installing both of the Service Packs that have been released for it because the first of those Service Packs included modifications to the Word application that will prevent the occurrence of errors such as those that were present in your document.

Note, all of the errors in the document were associated with the images that had been inserted inside Shapes, which is not necessary.  It would be far better to simply insert the images directly into the body of the document with the Text Wrapping set so taht they are In-line with Text.

The problems with your document were caused by images such as those in Figure 4.6 that had been inserted so that they were In Front of Text.

Such corruption is less likely to occur if you insert the images so that they are In Line with Text, using a Table to achieve the desired layout

The issue with your document was caused by the following "compound image"

By "compound image, I mean an image that is made up of a number of separate parts.  To minimize the chance of such errors occurring, I recommend compiling the image in a separate document and then use a screen capture utility such as Snagit from www.techsmith.com to create a screen capture of the compound image, which can then be saved as a single jpg image in the Snagit Editor.

That single image should be inserted into the document, with the separate document being retained in case later editing is required, in which case the screen capture process can be performed again.

Hi Charles,

It seems to be most likely to occur in the following circumstances

• with objects (images, text boxes. etc) that have the layout set to other than "In Line with Text"
• with "compound" objects (images, text boxes etc.) that consist of multiple graphic elements, which is where I recommend compiling the "compound" object in another document and then using Snagit to take a screen capture of it so that there is just a single object to be inserted into the actual document.

In many cases, the use of text boxes can be avoided by the use of a table.

I do not think I have come across a case where a Table set to have the text wrap around it has caused an xml tag error (but they quite often cause other problems for users who do not realise that they have inadvertently changed their table so that the text will wrap around it.
