My problem: I inherited a Word file with about 200 objects (maps) already
inserted. I do not have the source files for these maps. I am having a terrible time formatting the objects and getting the captions to stick to the objects. I have all the captions correct and "keep with next" applied but once I go to "update fields" the images get moved around and random text gets turned into captions and moved!!!! I have had great luck with this with inserted .jpgs (not to mention they are smaller file sizes). My question: How do I convert these unknown origin images/objects/maps (I think they are .wmf but don't know for certain) into a more usable format such as .jpg? Or, how do I work with what I have to make my document dynamic without major disruption? Thanks! Leslie-Ann |

I am not sure what you mean by answered elsewhere? It has not been answered
elsewhere as far as I can tell. "Jezebel" wrote: Answered elsewhere. "Leslie-Ann" wrote in message ... My problem: I inherited a Word file with about 200 objects (maps) already inserted.
