RTF with external images as .doc mathieu <mathieu.malaterre[ at ]gmail.com> 10/22/2008 9:31:32 AM Hi I would like to convert a rtf file with a bunch of *.png files (referenced from the document) into a single .doc file, so that I can send it as a single file. I could not find any option anywhere to embedded those image into the document. They stay as external references whatever I try. thanks !

They stay as external references whatever I try. Not sure what you tried already... Did you display field codes (either in Tools > Options > View, or using ALt+F9)? If you then see INCLUDEPICTURE fields, you can remove the \d switch, then update fields (F9) and save. Or you could get rid of the fields altogether by unlinking them (...select the picture, Ctrl+Shift+F9), though that would be permanent, and I'd probably rather just remove the switch. Regards, Klaus

I really need the action on the external images only and not *all* external references. Thanks

If you want to process the whole document in a single operation then you are going to have to use a macro to selectively unlink the INCLUDEPICTURE fields eg Sub ChangeField() Dim strCodes As String Dim iFld As Long For iFld = ActiveDocument.Fields.Count To 1 Step -1 With ActiveDocument.Fields(iFld) If .Type = wdFieldIncludePicture Then .Unlink End If End With Next iFld End Sub or remove the \d switch eg Sub ChangeField2() Dim strCodes As String Dim iFld As Long For iFld = ActiveDocument.Fields.Count To 1 Step -1 With ActiveDocument.Fields(iFld) If .Type = wdFieldIncludePicture Then .Code.Text = Replace(.Code.Text, "\d", "") .Update End If End With Next iFld End Sub -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<>
