What happened to the INCLUDEPICTURE field in word 2007? I need to know the
filename and path of the linked picture. If I save as a word 2003 doc I see
the field code but that's not a good solution for me.
Without explanation, this was changed; it may be related to the way
links are represented in the XML-based Office 2007 file format, but
I'm not sure.
You can see and change the links by going to Office button Prepare
Edit Links to Files. However, the dialog just lists all the links in
the document; there is no way to be sure which link corresponds to
which picture.
If you just want to see the path and filename of a specific picture,
install this macro in your Normal.dotm template (see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed) and add a button
to the Quick Access Toolbar for it. Click on the picture to select it,
and click the macro's button to get a message box containing the path
and filename.
