Actually that 1mm inset isn't, it's 2mm as we lose 1mm each side. :-)~ a
trap easily fallen into when resizing something...
As was happening to me...
There is no warning that anything untoward is happening, in one case, the
slightly large graphic (1mm) embedded, overflowed and vanished, taking
with it all the other correctly embedded graphics in that chapter.
Okay an f8 will back out of the problem, but unless you knew what was
happening... Obviously I did not, it looks like a big disaster happening
to the document.
Anyway, it appears I'm now sorted, so thanks to all who have popped in
with suggestions.
