Trouble converting ODT to MOBI

[dbclinton]

Hi,
I just installed 0.8.46 after running into some footnote problems using the Ubuntu repository version. I'm trying to convert an ODT to MOBI and I've run into the following error. Does anyone know how to decode this? By the way, I enabled permissions in the Calibre folders (and rebooted) so it's not that. And by the other way, Caliber is a terrific piece of software!
Thanks,
David

That ODT file has embedded drawings which are not supported by calibre. You can try converting it to HTML in openoffice and then convert that in calibre

[dbclinton]

That did the trick.
Great software and amazing support too!
