Bob,
Thanks very much. That explains quite a lot.
If I want to replace a picture with another at a future stage, should I use
the "Change picture" option in the links box or rather replace the named
picture and use the F9 to update. They are 2 different methods and I am not
sure which is best in Word 2007. In 2003, it is quite easy just to replace
the visual while leaving the same name there.

Hi Kevin,
In Word 2007, in addition to the [Change Source] choice in the Edit=>Links dialog you have the option of right clicking on the
picture and choosing 'Change Picture'. If you use that method, be sure to select, again the 'Insert as Link' choice on the [Insert
|v] button.
Whether you use either of those options, or keep the link and replace the outside file with another of the same name is more of a
scenario based decision. For example, do you use the same link in numerous files to something like a logo graphic or is this
document the only time you link to a particular picture.
