Missing linked pictures in Master/sub document
Using Word 2003 I have a master document with included subdocuments,
each of them in separate folder. Each subdocument has a number of linked pictures (not embedded!). They are all in the same folder as the document they are linked to. The problem I have is, I don't see the pictures when opening the master document and expanding the subdocuments. (just "red" crosses and placeholders for them). If I view the subdocument by itself the pictures are there! Is there any remedy for this? TIA, Primoz |

Hi P.Bradac,
Using Word 2003 I have a master document with included subdocuments, each of them in separate folder. Each subdocument has a number of linked pictures (not embedded!). They are all in the same folder as the document they are linked to. The problem I have is, I don't see the pictures when opening the master document and expanding the subdocuments. (just "red" crosses and placeholders for them). If I view the subdocument by itself the pictures are there! If the pictures are linked, then they're linked using IncludePicture fields, which you should see if you press Alt+F9. If you don't see them, then the pictures are formatted with text wrap? In that case, put at least one of them in-line with the text so that you can see the field. Does the field use a relative path? If it does, then the problem is likely that, when the sub-documents are opened in the Master, the relative path is referencing the path of the MASTER document, so isn't finding the pictures. You'll need to create absolute file paths for these links, or change the relative paths to be relative to the Master file.
