Default Relink graphic to embedded object

Thanks Dean. Your quick response is appreciated and it clarifies the issue.

I can only think of two ways of "linking" these pictures to the files, either
1) redo the Insert Object from File, Display as icon; or 2) hyperlink the
pictures you have to the files you want.
1) the files will be with the document, so can be sent to others.
2) Files not embedded in the document, so any distribution can be bothersome.

Best of luck

WD2003. A colleague lost her embedded objects, and I assume she'd hit
Ctrl+Shift+F9 by some sort of accident and converted them all to images. How
can I convert them back? While the obvious workaround is to redo the OLEing,
why can I not fix it by selecting one and go to Edit Links? It lets me
change the link of that item to a file somewhere, but all it achieves is a
bigger graphic. What am I missing?
