Almost all of the pictures have been "In line with text" since I changed
them to stop bouncing around the document at random. I was starting to
write:

Still no change to text when I hit Alt-F9. What else could be the cause?

However, I closed and reopened Word and this time it worked. I have no idea
why it wasn't working before. I don't believe that I changed anything.

Thanks,
Colin

If the linked pictures are wrapped, you won't see the field codes unless
you
temporarily change the wrapping to "In Line With Text."

That's what I'm saying - Alt-F9 changes other fields, but not the
pictures.

Any other suggestions? Maybe there's something I need to set in the
options
so that it will also toggle pictures or linked objects?

Thanks,
Colin

Press Alt+F9 to toggle between field codes and field results.

I like the idea about using a custom field name, but when I press
Alt-F9,
it
doesn't show any information for the linked pics. It does change all
the
other Fields to { Field text }. Is there something special I need to
do
to
be able to see Fields instead of the pictures?

Thanks,
Colin

Hi Colin,

When I link part of an Excel spreadsheet into my Word document
(both
in
2003), it stores the whole path name to the linked file. This means
that
even if I copy the whole folder or put it in a briefcase folder,
when
it's
on another computer, it thinks the original file is missing.

Is there any way to get Word to just use a relative path (relative
to
the
document it's working on) for linked objects, instead of demanding
the
full
path?

No, not for linked files to an OLE application; these links requie
the
full
path. (It is possible, albeit a bit tricky, for including text or
pictures.)

Another approach you might consider would be to place the full path
in
a
custom document property (File/Properties/Custom), so that you'd
only
have
to
change it in one place. Press Alt+F9 to display the LINK fields in
the
document, and replace the full path with DocProperty fields.

Another possibility would be to display the field codes, as above,
and
use
Find/Replace to change the path.

Lastly, you could write a macro (AutoOpen, for example) that would
check
the
folder name of the document, then change the path information in the
Link
fields to correspond.
