Failed to save target content because "illustration was moved between paragraphs"

Question

Hello! 
 I've been working on a PDF document with lots of images and when I try to save the target content, I am unable to. The screen that appears says the following: Failed to save target content: The illustration <shape name="138352"> was moved between paragraphs. 
 I have moved said shape to the beginning of the paragraph in the target segment, but I am unable to move it in the source segment. Do you know how I can fix this? 
 Thank you in advance for your time! 
 Sincerely, 
 Elizabeth

Dear Elizabeth Jean Leah Peters , 
 For each PDF file you work on in Studio, you will find a DOCX file in the source language folder of your project. This file is created by Studio when you read in the source file. 
 I think it would be best that make a copy of that file, rename it to some other name and then add it to your Studio project. Then, try immediately to save a target file. If this fails, remove the problematic image from the source file and add it to your project again. 
 Good luck! 
 Best

Regardless the source, such error is caused by merging segments across paragraph breaks. One of the paragraphs has contained an image before merging. After the merging the image/illustration is moved to another paragraph. Usually you could see that due to new tags appearing in such merged paragraph. 
 When merging segments across paragraph breaks you always should try to generate a target file immediately after merging to make sure this works. And you should also try to open such target file in Word immediately - because even if target will be created it is also possible, that Word will not open it anymore.
