Why is Past link inactive in the dialog Paste Special?
I'm trying to link a bmp-file into a Word-document, but the Past link-option
in the dialog Paste Special is inactive. |

I don't believe you can link a bitmap with the paste special box, try
inserting it as an object, and check the link checkbox there "Tina" wrote: I'm trying to link a bmp-file into a Word-document, but the Past link-option in the dialog Paste Special is inactive. |

Hi ?B?Y3luZGk=?=,
I don't believe you can link a bitmap with the paste special box, try inserting it as an object, and check the link checkbox there No, one should never insert a graphic as an object. Unless you know you want to use OLE support specifically. Lots and lots and lots of overhead; large file size; instability. Use Insert/Picture/From file with the Link option.

If I insert the file as an object, it will be saved in my document and that´s
not what I want. I´m just want to link to it.

When I use Insert/Picture/From file, I don´t have a Link option. Where can I
find it?

Have you clicked the arrow beside Insert? You should see "Insert as Link" or
"Link to File." Or, in earlier versions, there's a check box for "Link to file." -- Suzanne S.

Why is Past link inactive in the dialog Paste Special?
This happens to me when I already have the text linked. You need to unlink
the text, or remove the previous link. "Tina" wrote: If I insert the file as an object, it will be saved in my document and that´s not what I want. I´m just want to link to it.
