Hi Ulodesk,

Just speculating, but perhaps it's related to what changes have been made to the surrounding text - especially to any preceding text. Since Word can't 'read' a graphic's contents, maybe it takes the 'safe' approach and includes duplicates when there's enough 'doubt' (whatever that means in coding terms) as to whether it's the same image.
