Thank you for fixing this. I espy another feature which is required. I save the png's into a subdirectory called images_0007 which is a subdirectory of where my tex files are located. I run context from the latter (main or lower) working directory. Your script looks for the png's in this lower (main) directory: \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=Picture 1178610960,title={}]% rId6 \externalfigure[image1.png] \stopplacefigure should be: \startplacefigure[location=here,reference=Picture 1178610960,title={}]% rId6 \externalfigure[images_00007/image1.png][hfactor=fit] \stopplacefigure If you could fix this it would be greatly appreciated, and methinks useful.
