| 204816 | 2004-01-02 03:35:00 | While Windows "Help" gives explicit instructions on how to break links between a photo file and a document through the Windows "Edit" drop down menu. No such instructions show when I open the text document in Windows containing the photo that is linked to the source file, and click on "Edit". Despite every endeavor I cannot activate a "Break Links" menu. Can anyone help? F.W.J.M. |

| 204818 | 2004-01-07 08:07:00 | Mike, I am writing a family history in M.S. Word 2000. I have been scanning family and other photos and loading them onto a photo file. Using the MS Word "Insert Tool" I have been inserting from the photo file. That is O.K. but it retains links to the text document so that the photos only load up from the photo folder to the Family History document after I open the text document. I want to break the links and have the photos permanently inserted in the text document to enable me to copy to a C.D. but, the requesite commands do not display on the Word "Edit" drop down menu.

| 204819 | 2004-01-07 09:33:00 | If you are wishing to "embed" photos in your Word document you will need to copy the photo in the text document and then paste it into the Word document. This method will enable you to "break" the link between the two documents if you delete the linked picture. Do note that it will create a *very* large Word file. It might pay to make a copy of your Word document first and use that to experiment. If all goes well you can then delete or archive the backed up original. | tommy (2826) | ||
