Field Code Missing for Linked Pictures in Word 2007
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. |

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. Sub DisplayLink() With Selection If .InlineShapes.Count Then With .InlineShapes(1) If Not .LinkFormat Is Nothing Then MsgBox .LinkFormat.SourceFullName End If End With ElseIf .ShapeRange.Count Then With .ShapeRange(1) If Not .LinkFormat Is Nothing Then MsgBox .LinkFormat.SourceFullName End If End With End If End With End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Field Code Missing for Linked Pictures in Word 2007
There's a bug in Word 2007 which automatically converts some, but not all,
INCLUDEPICTURE fields into Shape-like objects. Microsoft support have acknowledged that this is a bug and have promised to fix it in SP3. As you point out, the bug is limited to 2007.
