Default A Better Solution?

Thanks, Robert.

Alas! When something is too good to be true, it is usually is just that.
The image folder you mentioned was right there staring me in the face (which
is quite red right now). And the jpegs there are all about 350-400 kbs each.
Thank God Seagate is going to come out with a terabyte hard drive because
I'll need one or two thanks to all these huge PDFs.

I'm really curious now to see what you'll send me! :-) And have no fear,
I won't send this document elsewhere without your approval.


OK, I got your file, and my scepticism seems to be justified: I see a
bunch of picture placeholders with small "red X".

When I switch to field-code view (ALT-F9), I see a whole document
consisting of INCLUDEPICTRE fields like this.

INCLUDEPICTURE "images/PYRAMIDS_img_0.jpg" \* MERGEFORMAT \d

If you look at the syntax of INCLUDEPICTURE, the \d switch is explicitly
prohibiting storing the image in the document. So, look at the "images"
subfolder at the position of your file, and there you go.

Even Acrobat can't do magin, after all ... :-)
