I havn't investigated this problem close enough to know exactly what the
problem is, but it ussually happens when there is an image involved...
especially a gif with a transparency. About the only way that I have
found to "solve" the problem is to remove the image, save the file to
another format (.doc format seems to be fine), close the document, reopen
the newly saved file and resave it in a native format. As for the image,
if you change it to something without a transparency, it should work.
