I've been editing this file for the last 2 hours and the problem just happened again. I deleted the TOC and inserted a new TOC, then clicked on one of its entries, and that's when the problem occurred. I've been working with Word since version 1.0 came out in 1990 and have not seen this problem.

I have not inserted any new images nor resized any, just added a table and a lot of text. Once again, the backup file opens and displays all the images.

I tried to upload the file but I cannot because its size exceeds 500 KB (it's 1.1 MB in size).
