... then re-saved the DDL. That seems to have had the effect of hiding the picture, so that I could then delete it (Ctrl-K) and drag the original file back into the frame. Now I have a usable document once more.

But I still have no idea what is wrong with the two lines above. The path and file name are correct, as far as I can see.

Save the version that works as DDL and then compare the above two lines with the new two lines in the latest DDL. 

Fails ...

PICTURE_9c5b={picture
{reference "C:\\Documents and Settings\\cbonsall\\My Documents\\OPWdocs\\IGconference\\GreenHV\\Fig01(hv).tif"}

Works ...

PICTURE_7f6={picture
{reference "C:\\Documents and Settings\\cbonsall\\My Documents\\OPWdocs\\IGconference\\GreenfieldHV\\Figures\\Fig01(hv).tif"}

For what it's worth, in the meantime I moved the TIFF file into a sub-directory, "Figures".

Although there appears to be no problem with the TIFF file, i.e. as far as Photoshop is concerned -- ISTR that the picture was created in Adobe Illustrator, then exported as TIFF with LZW compression. I think this is the only picture I have imported into an OPW document, which was first exported from Illustrator in compressed format. I usually do the compression in Photoshop, not Illustrator. Perhaps that's the cause of the problem ... something about the compression that OPW doesn't like.

I'll try experimenting further.
