I use XP service pack 2 with Office 2003

In Word 2003 I try to insert picture object (e.g. JPG) and link it to source
file to enable automatic update when source is changed.

Unfortunatly, Word 2003:
1. does not recognize object as link - after right click "Update link"
option doesn't appear as well as link edit option
2. does not allow to select automatic update for graphic object - the option
appear in grey and not selectable.

If you use Insert | Picture | Link to File, then it's Update Field (F9) you
want rather than Update Link.

Thanks for answer, but unfortunately it does not fully help.
"Link to file" works with F9, but if I use "Insert and Link", uodate with F9
doesn't work - picture is not updated after it is changed on disk.
Using just "Link" dont help - I need option to open document on another
computer where picture file doesn't exist

Thanks

I haven't used Insert and Link, but it should work the same way.

Unfortunetly it don't work in the same way - update is not performed.
Neither via F9 or via "Link | Update now"
