Splitting large word 97 file with linked images
I have a rather large word file with over 250 pages and more than 200
images. I want to split this file into serveral sub-documents that are to be published in Sharepoint 2003. Most of the images are linked to the document from a sub-folder and not saved in the file to minimize file size. My problem happens when trying to remove the linking by edit/links, select all the links, and break links. The menu item "links" on the edit menu is greyed out. I have tried removing write-protection and enabling all user-rights but still the menu item remains unusable. Is this a windows problem or word 97 fault or is there a way of converting this using other software ? Like converting the document with Open Office. (..sorry for the blasphemy in an MS newsgroup) Gratful for any hints. Thanks Oyvind |

Hi ?yvind,
Are these linked graphics formatted with text wrap (float over text)? If yes, then you won't be able to work with them via Edit/Links. Try formatting them in line with the text (remove the "float") and you should be able to edit the links I have a rather large word file with over 250 pages and more than 200 images.
