we have been using linked objects for letterhead and attorney names in our
multiple documents. These are simple test documents, no tables, no images.
suddenly, in some of the documents the linked object becomes a "pic". What's
up with that? and why would it not happen in all the documents? Does it help
to know that I am working on a new machine? could this be a function of our
account mangement software through which we are merging documents?

Part B: in trying to find the answer to this question I came upon a
discussion about "frames" I am relatively new to Word (diehard Wordperfect
user before) and don't know how frames work. would this be a better way to
insert this kind of information (letterhead, attorney information, and other
standard inserts)?
