For comparison, I opened the same ODT file in OOo and saved it as 
a MSWord document, then opened the .doc file in Word 2000. The 
frames containing the graphics and their captions were there, but 
they had jumped all over the page (despite being anchored in 
their own paragraphs). This problem had been reported on 
OOoAuthors a few days ago, but I had not yet followed up. It's 
looking like there is some major problem with OOo, or at least 
with the way I have been inserting and anchoring graphics. :-( 
Time for some more testing, and checking bug reports.
