Silly Question of the Day
After you insert a picture into a Word 2003 document, how do you later
recall the file name of the image you just inserted? I must be looking in the wrong places because I can find no commands or options that tell me the file name of an image in a document. Happy Holidays! Phideaux |

Silly Question of the Day
Word does not keep any record of the filename unless you link to the file,
in which case you can see the path when you press Alt+F9 (but only if the image is inline; if it's wrapped, you'll have to change the wrapping to In Line With Text first). Once a picture is embedded and not linked, there is no way to find out the original filename or location. -- Suzanne S.

Silly Question of the Day
As Suzanne says, this information isn't stored, but because Word can create
HTML files, which allow the images to be extracted, you can get some of the way by using the Script editor to view the file (ALT+SHIFT+F11) If you search the body of the document in the editor for o:title= That will be the name of the picture without the file extension. It does not give the location from which the image was inserted. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org phideaux wrote: After you insert a picture into a Word 2003 document, how do you later recall the file name of the image you just inserted?

That's a great tip, Graham. Sometimes the filename alone is all you need.

Silly Question of the Day
Thanks Graham and Suzanne,
Yes, usually the filename is all that I need. This is not exactly a convenient procedure, but it will work in a pinch. Why does Microsoft make things like this so difficult? For example, when I use FrameMaker or PageMaker or even other MS products such as FrontPage, this isn't a problem at all. OK, out of gripe mode now. Thanks. :-) Phideaux "Suzanne S.

Keep in mind that Word is a *word* processing application. It's designed
primarily to handle text, not graphics. -- Suzanne S.
