Hi again Ole,

Once again: Thanks for a quick and thorough answer.

You mention that the images might not be tagged in the XML export. You're right there. Most images are contained in a rectangle that reside in a seemingly empty cell. This happens if you manually click in a otherwise empty cell and then place the image there. From a scripting point of view the cell actually contains one character (haven't yet looked wich special char it is). I guess I could map that character to a tag. Is there a way to tag the rectangle directly?

Correct me if I'm wrong but, given that the image originals are temporarily gone and that I've succeeded in tagging the special character that contains the image rectangle:

a) If the image is embedded and tagged, it will dissapear on import.

b) If the image is embedded and not tagged, it will remain on import.

c) If the image is not embedded and tagged, it will dissapear on import.

How about d) "image not embedded and not tagged"?

In any case it seems that in my situation the best bet would be to not tag any images. Or?

The strange thing is that the images are embedded (according to the Links view) and I don't see them anywhere in the XML file, nor have I tried to tag them, but the images still dissapear..

About the crashed and freezes, I'll try to boil a small but working example, but that might take a while..

About Move. Is there a way to moveTo to another object, e.g. can I move a rectangle from a page to a specific cell, i.e. not only move it spatialy but especially structurally? Or do I need to use PasteInto for that kind of functionality?
