I assume they're actually INCLUDEPICTURE fields. The field codes for these
fields cannot be displayed (and are therefore inaccessible to Find and
Replace) when graphics are wrapped.

Not sure what you're getting at with the 'float' issue. As I understand
it,
currently your document has some 250 { LINK .... } fields, each connected
to a graphic. You need to replace these fields with the same graphic
embedded. The fact that the graphic is floating is largely irrelevant (it
just means you're working with the Shapes collection rather than
InlineShapes).

This is doable by macro, but it's tricky to say the least. Roughly:
iterate
the Shapes collection. For each one, store the size and position
properties;
find the corresponding LINK field to get the filename; delete the field
and
insert the graphic from file (ie, add it to the Shapes collection) and set
the size and position properties.

On balance, I think you're probably better doing it manually. It'll take a
day or so, but writing a macro that does this effectively will likely take
most of a day and you would still need to edit the document to fix the
ones
that go wrong. At least by doing it manually you know the task is finite
(even if infinitely tedious). Find a teenager who needs to earn some
pocket
money.

I have a word document with 150 pages and 250 images. All the images
are linked from a sub-directory to the document and not saved within
the file. I want to split this file into serveral smaller documents
that are
to be published in Sharepoint 2003 with each image saved within the
file, nor extracted or outside.

The images are graphics formatted with text wrap (float over text)?
The only way to edit or remove the links is to (remove the "float")
under image properties. It is therefore impossible to select the
entire document CTRL + A and remove all links.

My problem arises when trying to automate this process. During macro
recording the item "remove float" is blanked out !

Am I doomed spending weeks on word, selecting 250 images manually ??
Or does anyone have a nice macro to share.

Thanks
Oyvind
