Is that normal behavior?

What happens to my book if I delete Calibre. Does it remain as it is?

I need to use the document. Can anyone tell me how to restore my images?

Please tell me how to reverse this.

Is there any actual support for Calibre?
If I understand what you wrote in two rather similar messages, you installed calibre. You did not open your Word document with calibre nor did you attempt to convert the Word document to a different format using calibre. This from from your "I did nothing" wordage.

You opened your critical Word document with Word and the images were gone. You also stated that the images were gone from all your other Word files. What format were the images? Which version of Word are you using? What OS is your computer running?

If you are running Windows, open a command prompt and try removing calibre's file type associations using:
Code:
calibre-debug --default-programs=unregister
They can be restored using:
Code:
calibre-debug --default-programs=register
This is likely to require opening a administrator command prompt.

As for calibre support, most calibre support is what you see freely offered in the calibre forum.
