I used to save the same word file as html filtered and then I used to open it in Sigil and saved it as epub – no picture was lost…

So, the question is: Am I doing something wrong or simply the Calibre does not include (remove) pictures in the docx –> epub/mobi/azw3 conversion?
@Bigo2 - Working OK here with Word 2007. Didn't do anything fancy, dropped a jpeg onto a page and and inserted a jpeg into another page. Big images are resized but that's OK by me.

I looked at the EPUB/AZW3 in the calibre viewer, the calibre editor and sigil (epub only) show the images as expected. Also sideloaded the EPUB onto my android tablet, its okay there too.

I can zip it up & post here if you like - its just a test document.
