From: Sevilho on 1 Feb 2010 04:29 Graphic file is linked. But 1) it can be seen only in page layout (in Word 2003 I can see it in Normal mode) 2) Shift+F9 does not work to see link. Is it right? Is any method to see the picture in Normal mode ?
From: Stefan Blom on 1 Feb 2010 06:14 1. Draft view is not WYSIWYG. Switch to Print Layout view (or to Print Preview) in order to see a correct view of your document. 2. Change the Text Wrapping to "In line with text"; then you can see the field code if you select the graphic and press Shift+F9. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Sevilho" <Sevilho(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E5736457-D14E-45AE-AA6A-7172F6B8F044(a)microsoft.com... > Graphic file is linked.

> 2) Shift+F9 does not work to see link. Unless your .docx/.docm is in compatibility mode, or you inserted your picture in a very specific way (see below at ***), I do not believe that Word 2007 .docx/.docm files retain INCLUDEPICTURE fields at all, even when you originally inserted the picture using a. an INCLUDEPICTURE field or b. using insert->picture->insert and link to file (which creates an INCLUDEPICTURE field in Word 2003, but not in a .docx in Word 2007) IN cases where you have a linked picture, but where Word has lost the INCLUDEPICTURE field, Word actually represents the link in a completely different way, using: a. a "relationship" that specifies the pathname of the image file. b. a copy of the image, renamed, inside a "media" folder within the ..docx - e.g. it may be named image1.jpeg c. a relationship that specifies that image's pathname within the .docx. The problem is that as far as I can tell, even though the link information is present in the .docx/.docm file, d. these links are not regarded as the kind of links that appear in the "Edit Links" dialog e. you can't access this information using Word VBA and the "Word Object Model" f. it is not obvious how you would access the information while the document was open. That said, if you need to know the original path, but you simply cannot get Word to display an INCLUDEPICTURE field, you /may/ be able to get the information as follows: a. save the document using Word 2007 .xml format (Office button->Save As->Other formats, then select "Save As Type" Word XML Document. b. open the .xml file using Notepad, or using Word if you know how to open it as a plain text file, c. use "find" to look for "w:drawing" . You should find something like ><w:drawing><wp:inline distT="0" distB="0" distL="0" distR="0"><wp:extent cx="5724525" cy="4295775"/><wp:effectExtent l="19050" t="0" r="9525" b="0"/><wp:docPr id="1" name="Picture 1" descr="C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Creek.jpg"/> You can see that the picture pathname is recorded in there. However, that is as far as I can lead you: if there are multiple pictures/graphic objects, I cannot currently tell you an easy way to determine which picture is linked to which file. It should be possible to write some VBA or XSLT to get more useful information out of the .xml file, but I haven't tried that yet. For anyone else reading this who would like to take it a little further, it may be worth knowing that the "wp" prefix used in the .xml file is not declared anywhere in the .xml - in other words, it's not valid XML. However, that might not prevent code that relies on an XML parser (either VBA or XSLT) from succeeding. Maybe I'll get around to doing more myself at some point. ***As far as I know, the only approach that will actually insert an INCLUDEPICTURE field into a .docx/.docm that is not a compatibility mode file is to insert the field code manually, e.g. insert { } using ctrl-F9, then type the field code text inside, e.g. so you have { INCLUDEPICTURE "c::\\mypictures\\mypicture.jpg" } Then select and update the field. /That/ field code should survive Save/Close/Open as a .docx file, even when you do not select compatibility mode.
