Hi ackerb,

If you want to embed the file, rather than it's icon, it would probably be
easiest to simply re-embed the object from scratch. Although you could
possibly edit the field code, the changes that would need to be made would
depend on what type of object you're dealing with.

Cheers

Thank you for your response. I'm using the icon option and that shortcut
turns the icon into a picture. I want the link object to turn into the
actual file as an icon.

There is a "Package for CD" option in powepoint, does this exsist for
word?
