Resolution resolution

The personalization block missed the “href=” keyword from the image link. Please see below:

Before:

<draw:image xlink:"https://www.xxxxx.net/xx-xxxxx/uploads/2022/05/XXXXX-logo-648.jpg" />

After:

<draw:image xlink:href="https://www.xxxxx.net/xx-xxxxx/uploads/2022/05/XXXXX-logo-648.jpg" />

Also, when creating the docx or odt template, do not write the code directly in the template file, but instead use a text editor (like notepad) to create the code and copy back the code in the template file. It will ensure accurate quotes and double quotes are used.
