Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2006Object Links in word documents
Hi, I am back again, stumped. I am continuing now my project w/o using the Master document feature and have divided the document in chapters, each with its own filename. The graphics are deposited in a separate file for each chapter. This worked fine with the first chapter, the file size after the manipulation went down dramatically to text file size only. What stumps me is my inability to repeat this feat with chapter 2. No links are created by going this: At the insertion point in the new document I call up Insert>As Object, select as Word Picture, then >From file>location>filename of picture, then checking boxes ³link to file² and ³insert icon², Then hit insert. When checking Edit>Links, Links is greyed. What have I forgotten going from one documentto the next? I feel utterly dumb. Rudolf Probably just because it¹s new to you, but by chapter 300 you¹ll undoubtedly have it down pat :) I think what you want is Insert>*Picture*>From File, not Insert>*Object*.

You start with Insert Picture¹,then FromFile¹and after you found the file of the picture you need to check the box Link to File¹ and uncheck the box Save with Document¹. This keeps the graphics in the document while editing but leaves the graphics out when saving and the Word file remains quite small. Logical, of course! It¹s tough getting old.
