Unfortunately, if you cannot re-attach the data source, then you end up
losing any information about the existing connection.
That said, if you are saving in an XML or RTF format - i.e. .docx,
..docm, Word 2007 .xml, Word 2003 .xml or maybe .rtf, you should be able
to find out the necessary details by inspecting the file (.docx/.docm
are actually ZIP files with a bunch of XML and other stuff inside them,
so you could extract the information from those - a bit of a slog
without some programming support though.
