I do the same thing in many cases. This, however, is a document begun by someone else. It is a User Guide for a software application still under development and change. Many of the graphics were not pasted in, but inserted linked files(sort of as placeholders) so that as the application GUI changes and we take new screen shots, they can be updated automatically in Word. So in this case, yes, they mostly have names. And of course when I need to update the screen shots, they'll only update automatically if I save the new screen shots with the same file name as the originals. I'd still like to know how to find out the names of files that were inserted without being linked as I know some of them were inserted that way as well. It would be helpful if, knowing the file name, I could change them to linked files for future updates. Diane -----On 8/24 Ray Blake wrote----- Would the picture necessarily always have a name? I make docs all the time where I just paste in a screendump from the clipboard. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Take Yahoo! Mail with you!
