How to find file name and insertion method of picture file inserted in Word doc

[Diane]

This is surely a very basic Word question, but I'm
embarrassed to say I can't figure it out. When you
Insert > Picture from File (e.g., screen shots), how
can I tell later what the file name is for any given
picture in the Word doc? In other applications I can
right-click and see the file name, but don't see that
option in Word. If it matters, I am using the "insert
and link" method. I try to use file naming
conventions that would help make it easy to determine
what the file name is, but sometimes it's still
difficult in a large doc with many screen shots.

I'd also like to know how to tell what the insertion
method was (embedded or linked).

If anyone can help me find out how to know what a screen
shot graphic file name is and whether or not it is an
embedded file I would be very grateful.

I'm using Word 2000.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

This will work only if the picture is In Line With Text. If you have applied
any other wrapping style, you'll have to make it inline temporarily in order
to see the field code.

Thanks...that answers the bigger issue.

I'd still also like to know if there's a way to tell what
the name of a file is if that file was inserted without
being linked. I fear it may not be, but it would be so
helpful to me in working on a doc begun by someone else
who linked some files and not others. Nearly all of the
screen shots in this doc need updating and if I knew the
names of the files that were inserted without being
linked, I could link them and make the update process
easier in the future.

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, no, if the picture is embedded and not linked, it doesn't
contain any information about the source unless it was pasted as an OLE
object from another application, such as Corel PhotoPaint.
