(Andreas Nielsen, May 9 2019)
Apache OpenOffice 4.5.0 (AOO450m1(Build:9900) - Rev. 1858450)

HP ZBook 17 G2
Windows 10 Pro, Version 1803
Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
Ram: 24.00 GB, 64-Bit Operating System

I was able to reproduce this issue using OO 4.5.0, but noticed some slight
differences in behavior between the .doc versions.

Also, the default anchor setting appears to be 'To Paragraph'.

I followed charleschen's steps, and summarize at a high level:

## TEST 1
1. Created a new, blank document in OO Writer.
2. Inserted PNG.
3. Changed anchor from 'To Paragraph' to 'To Page'.
4. Saved as .doc (95/2000/XP).
5. Was prompted by OO that the document may contain formatting or content that
cannot be saved in the 95/2000/XP file format. (I selected 'Keep Current
Format').
6. After closing, and reopening the file in OO Writer, the anchor setting had
in fact changed to 'To Character'.

## TEST 2 (I only modified step 4, but behavior changes)
1. Created a new, blank document in OO Writer.
2. Inserted PNG.
3. Changed anchor from 'To Paragraph' to 'To Page'.
4. Saved as .doc (95).
5. Was prompted by OO that the document may contain formatting or content that
cannot be saved in the 95 file format. ('Keep Current Format').
6. After closing, and reopening the file in OO Writer, the anchor setting had
changed from 'To Page' to 'To Paragraph' (not 'To Character').

## TEST 3 (I only modified step 4, but behavior same as TEST 2)
1. Created a new, blank document in OO Writer.
2. Inserted PNG.
3. Changed anchor from 'To Paragraph' to 'To Page'.
4. Saved as .doc (6.0).
5. Was prompted by OO that the document may contain formatting or content that
cannot be saved in the 6.0 file format. ('Keep Current Format').
6. After closing, and reopening the file in OO Writer, the anchor setting had
changed from 'To Page' to 'To Paragraph' (not 'To Character').

I repeated all the aforementioned steps with a JPG file as well, and the
behavior was the same as with the PNG.

I did try the same steps, and saving it to a .docx file. After closing, and
reopening the file, the anchor setting had not changed. It was set to 'To Page'
before saving, and when reopened the anchor setting was still 'To Page'.

I see that Nirmal had a different experience. For him/her 'To Page' changed to
'To Character' with all three .doc options, whereas for me in 4.5.0, 97/2000/XP
was the only one that changed to 'To Character'. The other two (95, 6.0) also
changed, but to 'To Paragraph', not 'To Character'.

...

One thing I noticed with both 95 and 6.0 was that the image would get distorted
or stretched, whereas with 97/2000/XP the shape would remain untouched.

I have attached an image that compares the files after reopening. 95 (6.0 same
behavior) on the left, 97/2000/XP on the right. You can see that the inserted
image differs between the two.
