which web browser are you using.. it may make a difference. Also what is your word version.

Shaun Vermaak

Perhaps it is because of images being encoded directly into the CSS.
Do you have a sample page?

@Shaun Vermaak

the link is in the original question: "webpage"

Facepalm :)

If I have to guess, it is because these images are lazy loaded

thanks Paul.

i did unmark it and the result was the same. i am just assuming that some group policy or anitvirus might be causing this issue.
