*.docx Graphics conversion

I have a novel with several embedded illustrations and I am wondering about Calibre's image handling abilities. I have converted my doxc source to epub many times, but only recently have I begun to modify the embedded images in Word (2013) with the image formatting tools in MSWord. Things like image fading, transparency, soft edges. Calibre imports the source document and chhurns out an epub that can't be opened. For instance; FBReader Premium says; "No plugin found to open this document with." When I remove all the image formatting the document gets converted to epub and opens with no problem. I assume Calibre doesn't handle docx embedded images that have been altered by MSWord's image formatting effects and I should modify the images before embedding them? Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining! Calibre is a fantastic piece of software and I don't expect it should cater to every nick-knack MS crams into their bloatware - just asking a question. I really need to make donation soon too, but with the pandemic and all, times are tough.
