[mso] Inserting graphics in Word 2000

Can someone explain the difference between the "Link to File" and the
"Insert and Link" options on the Insert Picture dialog box in Word 2000?
I'm trying to update screen shots in a Word doc and thought that if the
pictures were inserted a certain way you could edit the graphic source
file and it would then update in Word.  But I'm finding that after I
edit the source file and go back to Word and try to update the picture,
I get a blank square where the picture was...looks like the placeholder
box for graphics (Picture placeholders is NOT selected in Options).
Here's how I'm doing this:

1.  Insert original graphic:
    Insert | Picture | From File, navigate to graphic file, then click
Insert button and select "Insert and Link"

2.  (some days later) Edit .JPG source file and save with original
graphic file name 

3.  Open Word doc containing the graphic file, select the picture whose
source file was updated in #2 above, and press F9.

After pressing F9 I have the blank square.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help.
