Embedded objects missing
Hi,
I have a report which was fine until this morning when I opened it and all the illustrations, charts, contents page, references etc now appear as text saying embedded object etc. When I'm on print preview they're all there but I can't view them anywhere else! This has never happened before so I'm completely lost but have to finish this report today. Any suggestions greatfully received! Cheers, Tom |

Select all document (Ctrl+A), F9 to refresh fields. Does this cure you problem?

You forgot to mention which version of Word you are using.
For 2003 and prior, also check in Tools, Options, View, that Field codes has not been ticked. All the best DeanH "DeanH" wrote: Select all document (Ctrl+A), F9 to refresh fields.

Hi Dean,
Thanks for getting back to me, I'm in 2007. I've tried hitting F9 with it all selected but still have the problem. Don't suppose you have any other suggestions please?

Sorry, have not used 2007 so cannot help with its new control structure.
Have you checked the 2007 equivalent to Tools Options View? All the best DeanH "Tom" wrote: Hi Dean, Thanks for getting back to me, I'm in 2007.

The control structure is actually a big pile of ****. If I hadn't paid so
much money for it I'd go back to my old Office XP. I'll play around with field codes until I get something.

Just in case anyone stumbles across this thread lookg for help, I've actually
found the solution - toggle field codes. Ctrl A, right click, toggle field codes. So many of the commands in 2007 are hidden in obscure menus that I'm coming to rely on right click more and more...

Alt+F9 will do it without the Ctrl+A.
