Can I convert linked files to embedded files in MS Word
Is it possible to convert linked files to embedded files in MS Word? I have a
document which contains linked photographs. I now need to distribute this and would like to embed the original files (unless there is an easy way of distributing it along with the original files and updating the links accordingly) |

Can I convert linked files to embedded files in MS Word
Hi ?B?bGVlc2k=?=,
Is it possible to convert linked files to embedded files in MS Word? I have a document which contains linked photographs. I now need to distribute this and would like to embed the original files (unless there is an easy way of distributing it along with the original files and updating the links accordingly) Depends. Depends on whether the pictures have been formatted with any text-wrap formatting. If they haven't (they're "in-line with the text"), then you can select and press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to unlink them. If they're formatted with text wrap, then you'd need to select, Edit/Link (possibly available using Right-click). Conceivably, VBA should be able to cycle through all the pictures and unlink them, but some versions of Word don't support this well (crashes are possible).

Can I convert linked files to embedded files in MS Word
As Cindy points out, the pictures must be In Line With Text for this to
work. I just tried it with a linked, wrapped graphic, and it didn't work. -- Suzanne S.

True. I find it very strange, though. Some day I have to ask the dev team
why the difference exists. Jay Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: As Cindy points out, the pictures must be In Line With Text for this to work.

I guess it's just because Word can't "see" objects in the drawing layer and
consequently can't even see or display the field code, much less unlink the fields. -- Suzanne S.
