WV appears to get somewhat confused by it - it inserts a
lot of:
<font color="White"><img alt="0x08 graphic" src="StrangeNoGraphicData"><br><img width="225" height="160" alt="0x08 graphic" src="/home/USERS/matthew/ds//dell-sale0.png"><br></font><font color="White">= 100 </font>
I guess the "StrangeNoGraphicData" means that the document
is either incorrect of just confusing to wv.
AbiWord's reaction to the document seems to be the more
serious side of whatever the problem is, though.
