Linked graphics changing from MERGEFORMAT to MERGEFORMATINET

[James]

Hello

I have a series of macros that create and format a master
document from multiple documents. Part of that is to
insert some linked graphics. After the macros are
finished the code for the graphic shows as:
INCLUDEPICTURE "C:\\graphics\\chart.gif" \* MERGEFORMAT
\d

When I save the document it changes the code to:
INCLUDEPICTURE "../../../../graphics/chart.gif" \*
MERGEFORMATINET \d

I am using Word XP with the latest service packs. I can
run the same macros in Word 2000 and there is no problem.

Can anybody help?

Regards.
James
