Detecting linked graphic vs. embedded

J

I have a large word for windows document (word 2002). Within the
document are many images. Some of these images are linked to a file,
others are embedded. Let's say I click on one of the images in word.
I can't find an "easy" way to determine if that image is linked or
embedded. How would I do that?

Note that I can select Edit->Links to view all the links, but that
dialog shows all the links and the references, and is rather full of
information that I do not need. When it shows links to pictures, it
also gives no clue as to where that image is linked in the document
anyway, so that wasn't of any help to me.

There must be some reveal codes or some such where I can easily see if
it's linked or embedded but I must be missing it. Thanks!

If the graphic is inline, you can toggle field codes (Alt+F9) and see
whether there is an IncludePicture code. If it includes a \d switch and a
path, it's linked; otherwise, not. Wrapped graphics cannot be examine in
this way without making them inline first.
