Default Word 2003: Problems with linked images

It sounds like the image files the doc is [was] linked to have either been
renamed or moved to a different location than what/where they were when the
links were created. That would explain the red x - meaning "No file by the
name I've been given is located in the place I was told to look". I don't
know what your definition of "relative link" is, but if the target isn't
where it is supposed to be the doc file isn't going to try & track it down.
OTOH, as long as the targets are not tampered with you can move the Word doc
to another location & it will be able to maintain the link.

If the target files have not been moved or renamed, please provide a bit
more detail on what is happening as opposed to what you expect.

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why Word 2003 is causing the linked images in my docs
to
go from a relative link into UNC and on top of that, the images are not
printing out. The images actually become a red 'x' in the picture
placeholder.

Any solutions to making the links stick and stay as relative links would
be
most welcomed.

Thanks.
