Images are not working in Word 2019 for Mac

[xmedeko]

I've generated test.docx from sample.html. It works OK in Word for MS Windows. But the image is not displayed in Word 2019 for Mac VL 16.53 (the text is OK).

Hi,

Anyone know how to solve the issue?

[xmedeko]

I've tried various things but all failed. IMHO it's a Mac MS Word bug, see my Microsoft Tech Community post Mac Word 2019 does not display MHTML images

I've tried to create a text with an image in Mac Word, save as MHTML file. Close Word. Open Word and open the MHTML file - images are not visible, too. So, it's a Mac Word bug.

Thank you for an explanation.

Note: as a workaround the images may be added inline using data: URI, i.e. <img src="data:image/png;base64,..."> (in MHTML with quoted-printable it must be src=3D"data:image/png;base64,..." of course).
However, the Word for Mac treats alpha channels as black in such inline images - another Word for Mac bug ☹️ , so the image should not have alpha channel.
